Reimagining the Great Egret
Olaf Hajek kicks off the series with a little lesson in art history.
More than a century ago, activists saved the Great Egret from the voracious ladies鈥 hat trade in a movement that inspired the original 探花精选 Society. So it鈥檚 fitting that German artist Olaf Hajek has re-created John James 探花精选鈥檚 Great Egret as the first in a new series for 探花精选鈥檚 last page. 鈥淚 wanted to play off the fact that fashion designers and milliners almost exterminated the species,鈥 he says. 鈥溙交ň helped stop the hunting, and now the Great Egret is safe.鈥&苍产蝉辫;
