EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the tragic moment of Hubert Latham's death, a renowned French aviator who met his fate during an ambitious expedition to Africa. The engraving, featured in "Le Petit Journal" in 1912 and now part of a private collection, immortalizes this significant event in history. Latham's daring exploration took him to the heart of Africa, where danger lurked at every turn. In this powerful image, we witness the collision between man and beast as he encounters a formidable buffalo. The intensity of the encounter is palpable; one can almost feel the adrenaline coursing through Latham's veins. The artist behind this evocative engraving remains anonymous, but their skillful hand brings forth both realism and emotion. Every stroke tells a story - from Latham's determined expression to the sheer power emanating from the charging buffalo. As we gaze upon this artwork today, it serves as a reminder of humanity's unyielding pursuit for discovery and adventure. It also pays tribute to those brave individuals like Hubert Latham who risked everything in their quest for knowledge and exploration. Through Stefano Bianchetti's restoration work on this historical piece, we are transported back to that fateful moment when tragedy struck. This print not only preserves an important chapter in aviation history but also invites us to reflect on our own mortality and the inherent risks that come with pushing boundaries. In its entirety, this photograph print stands as a testament to human resilience while simultaneously reminding us
