Bloodless Giraffe Hunt 1911

Moriz Jung's "Bloodless Giraffe Hunt" from 1911 is a whimsical illustration depicting a biplane chasing three giraffes. The giraffes are depicted in a stylized manner, their long necks and legs extending across the composition in a playful dance. The biplane, meanwhile, floats overhead, suggesting a lighthearted pursuit rather than a serious hunt. The juxtaposition of the modern aircraft with the traditional African wildlife speaks to the early 20th century's fascination with new technologies and their impact on the natural world. Jung's style, characterized by bold outlines and vibrant colors, adds to the playful tone of the artwork.
