EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the tragic fate of French explorer Bruneau de Laborie, who met his untimely demise at the hands of a ferocious lion in the heart of Africa's Ubanghi Chari. The engraving, featured in the renowned newspaper "Le Petite Journal Illustrous" on July 20th, 1930, now resides in a private collection. The image transports us back to an era of intrepid exploration and danger as we witness de Laborie's final moments. Rendered with meticulous detail by anonymous artist Stefano Bianchetti, this engraving captures the raw emotion and intensity of the encounter between man and beast. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are reminded of both the bravery and vulnerability inherent in human ambition. De Laborie's valiant pursuit to unravel Africa's mysteries ultimately led him face-to-face with one of its most formidable predators. Through this artwork, Bianchetti immortalizes not only de Laborie but also highlights humanity's ceaseless quest for discovery. The intricate lines and shading bring life to every stroke, evoking a sense of awe mixed with sorrow for what was lost that fateful day. This print serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst triumphs and achievements lies an inherent risk that cannot be ignored. It is a testament to those who dare venture into uncharted territories - their stories etched forever into history through artistry such as this remarkable engraving by Stefano Bianchetti.
