EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "The Extermination of the Bison" takes us back to a critical moment in history when the fate of an entire species hung in the balance. Created by an anonymous English School artist from the 19th century, this engraving serves as a poignant illustration for The Illustrated London News. Intriguingly composed, this image depicts a scene that is both awe-inspiring and deeply unsettling.

Through this powerful visual representation, Bridgeman Images invites us to reflect on our relationship with nature and confront our responsibility towards preserving biodiversity. This photograph print serves as both a historical document and an urgent call to action – reminding us that every choice we make today has profound implications for future generations.
