" THERE WAS A TIME " 250 s/n Giclee Canvas
This huge canvas (the original is 12 feet long by 4 feet high) was a time-consuming labor of love for Simon. He was inspired by several things: he wanted to somehow preserve a vanished phenomenon in the early 1800s the buffalo population was estimated at about 60 million and 70 years later hunting reduced it to about 200. He had observed wildebeest migrations in Africa so he was fascinated by the movement of vast herds of huge animals. He read the diaries of Meriwether Lewis of the Lewis and Clark expedition and Lewis’ observations of these migrations: he then followed part of their route so that he could find the right spot to place his buffalo herd.
