class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From ancient Mesopotamia to Renaissance Europe, from the waters of the Arctic to the woodlands of Alice&#8217;s adventures on the other side of the looking glass, unicorns have pranced across the globe, leaving their footprints on human history and firmly ingraining themselves in our culture. Winsome and wondrous, the animal has held an enduring role in the lore and legends of peoples across the world. It has been hunted, studied, ascribed powers, and brought to life through stories, songs, and works of art. This pervasive presence has enabled the unicorn to become a symbol, standing for virtues of strength and subtlety, power and grace. In its many different forms, this allegorical animal will continue to inspire and enchant its audience.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column callout is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-70a63c1cd614458c989de0790f5a50ff wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60)\">&#8216;Well, now that we have seen each other,&#8217; said the unicorn, &#8216;if you&#8217;ll believe in me, I&#8217;ll believe in you.&#8217;<br> <span class=\"attribution\">\u2013<em>Through the Looking Glass<\/em>, Lewis Carroll, 1871<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Unicorn Found traces the history of how unicorns have been represented, exploring the myth and manifestation of the mysterious being within different historical and cultural contexts.
