EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us to the heart of the former Belgian Congo, where a mother Okapi and her fawn reside in an enclosure. The image showcases these elusive creatures known for their striking striped patterns, as they nuzzle affectionately. Taken in 1965 by Central Press, this timeless piece captures the essence of Africa's rich biodiversity. The Okapi, often referred to as "the forest giraffe" is a living organism that thrives in its native homeland. With its unique appearance resembling a cross between a zebra and a deer, this herbivorous animal stands out against the lush backdrop of the Congolese wilderness. In this vertical composition, we witness two animals bonded by maternal love and tenderness. The protective mother gently embraces her young fawn, creating an intimate moment frozen in time. Their contrasting stripes create a mesmerizing visual contrast against their natural habitat. Photography has allowed us to appreciate wildlife from different corners of our planet while raising awareness about animals held captive for various reasons. This particular image reminds us of the importance of preserving these magnificent creatures' natural habitats and ensuring their survival for future generations. Central Press has masterfully captured this enchanting scene with impeccable detail and sensitivity towards animal themes. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Storehouse, we are transported into the wilds of Africa - witnessing nature's wonders through the lens of artistry.
