EXTINCT ANIMALS
S
ince the dawn of human civilisation, curiosity and a great
sense of adventure have tempted explorers to undertake
risky adventures in search of the unknown. New worlds
were waiting to be discovered by those who persevered and
survived the dangers along the way. The life of an explorer
was tinged with fear and excitement, hard work and physical
discomfort. After months or sometimes years of tainted travels,
we can only imagine the rush of adrenaline going through a
sailor who spotted new land, or an explorer who looked into the
eyes of an unknown animal. We can merely try to picture it …
Some adventurers set out with a purpose: they would seek
a golden treasure to change their destiny, the fountain of youth
to live forever. They chased their dream with youthful dedica-
tion, possessed by a great desire for adventure, seeking a life
of excitement. What they actually discovered were much greater
treasures for humanity: fish that could fly, amazing-looking
birds that sang like angels and underwater creatures glowing
in the dark! If safely returned to what they called civilization,
they reported of remarkable new worlds and the rich beauty of
exotic, diverse and extraordinary animals. Birds with plumage
the colour of the rainbow, cute smiling creatures hanging high
up in florid trees, breath-taking animals of all dimensions began
to populate new myths and stories. Even though most of these
animals were never seen again, the variety and diversity of na-
ture exceeded imagination and puzzled even the most sceptical.
A collection of ten beautiful carpets bring some Extinct
Animals back into our lives, untamed and beautiful and printed
on extremely soft and comfy materials.
