EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting scene of "South America: The arrival of old friends at the Island". Created by an English School in the 19th century, this engraving showcases a moment from W H G Kingston's novel, "On the Banks of the Amazon" published in 1901. The image transports us to a remote island nestled within South America's lush and vibrant landscape. As we gaze upon this artwork, we witness a heartwarming reunion between old friends. The characters depicted are surrounded by towering pine and spruce forests, creating a serene backdrop for their encounter. The untamed beauty of South America is evident as wild animals roam freely amidst the dense foliage. This depiction reminds us of the rich biodiversity that thrives within these unspoiled lands. From majestic Amazonian women to other intriguing creatures that call this continent home, every detail has been meticulously captured by the skilled engraver. As we delve into this early twentieth-century masterpiece, it becomes clear that it serves as both an artistic expression and a window into South American culture. It invites us to explore not only its natural wonders but also its unique history and folklore.
