EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "L'affranchi Pollion faisant jeter un esclave aux murenes de ses viviers" transports us back to the 19th century, where scientific progress and industrial revolution were shaping history. This artwork, created by an unknown European School artist, is part of a private collection. The scene depicted in this print showcases the wonders of modern inventions and engineering. It illustrates an artificial pisciculture system implemented by L'affranchi Pollion on his farm or ranch. In this innovative method, he tosses a slave into the vivarium filled with moray eels as a means to feed them. This image serves as an important historical document that sheds light on both the advancements in agriculture and the harsh realities faced by slaves during that era. It was originally published as an illustration for "Les Merveilles De La Science ou Description Populaire des Inventions Modernes" written by Louis Figuier around 1870. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of how science and technology have shaped our world throughout history. The print captures not only the fascination with wildlife but also highlights society's evolving relationship with nature through human intervention. Bridgeman Images has preserved this piece from Fine Art Finder's collection, ensuring its accessibility for future generations interested in exploring the intersection between art, science, and history.
