Depicting animals is a tradition that goes back 50,000 years (give or take) to the paintings and drawings in the caves of Lascaux and Chauvet. In these caves, Mesolithic / Neolithic peoples described in graphic form that which was important to them in the three dimensional world. Animals were, of course, very important; their images were abundant; exceeding by far those that involved humans.

Animals have continued to play important roles in human culture, and the tradition of depicting them extends to the present day. Here’s a show that gives varied graphic form to animals in the modern world.
