EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the incredible imagination of author-explorer Schenchzer as he encounters a dragon in the majestic Swiss Alps. The image is based on a drawing from his renowned book, "Routes in the Swiss Alps" which was written over the span of nine years from 1702 to 1711. Published in The Strand Magazine in 1897, this photograph showcases the timeless allure of Schenchzer's work. The scene transports us back to a time when mythical creatures roamed freely alongside humans, blurring the lines between reality and fantasy. The dragon looms large against the backdrop of snow-capped mountains, its scales glistening under sunlight that filters through dense clouds. Its presence evokes both awe and trepidation, reminding us of our fascination with extraordinary beings. Schenchzer's encounter with this fantastical creature speaks volumes about his adventurous spirit and unyielding curiosity. As an author and explorer, he undoubtedly sought out these extraordinary experiences to fuel his creative endeavors. This image serves as a testament to his ability to transport readers into worlds where mythical beasts roam free. Preserved within this print is not only Schenchzer's encounter but also a glimpse into history itself - an era when exploration was at its peak and tales of legendary creatures captivated audiences worldwide. It stands as a reminder that even amidst our modern world, there is still room for wonderment and imagination inspired by those who came before us.
