EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "The Tree Men of India in the 19th Century" transports us back to a time when disguise and escape were essential survival tactics. Taken from La Ilustracion Española y Americana of 1881, this image showcases the ingenuity and resourcefulness of Indian men who concealed themselves as trees to evade detection. Intriguingly, these brave individuals mastered the art of blending seamlessly into their natural surroundings. Standing tall amidst a lush forest backdrop, they adopted tree-like postures with outstretched arms resembling branches and adorned themselves with foliage costumes. Their commitment to hiding was so remarkable that even keen observers would struggle to distinguish them from real trees. This photograph not only captures an extraordinary moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to human adaptability and resilience. It offers a glimpse into the lengths people will go to protect themselves from harm or persecution. Ken Welsh's expertly crafted print allows us to appreciate both the historical significance and artistic merit of this rare image. As we gaze upon it, we are reminded that sometimes true strength lies not in confrontation but in finding clever ways to elude danger – just like these courageous men who found solace within nature's embrace.
