EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "King Astonished at Looking-Glass" takes us on a journey to the heart of Africa, where adventure and exploration await. Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures a moment of astonishment and wonder. The image depicts a majestic African king standing before a looking-glass, his reflection revealing something unexpected. His expression is one of pure surprise as he gazes upon himself in the mirror. The intricate details of his regal attire and ornate crown showcase his status and power. This engraving was originally commissioned for "Stories of the Gorilla Country" by Paul Du Chaillu, published in 1890. It serves as an illustration that transports us into the world of African wildlife and its untamed beauty. Through this artwork, we are invited to contemplate themes such as self-reflection, curiosity, and discovery. The king's reaction reminds us that even those with great authority can be taken aback by their own image or revelations about themselves. With its digitally cleaned image quality courtesy of Bridgeman Images' restoration efforts, this print brings history to life while preserving its original charm. It serves as a testament to the enduring allure of Africa's vast landscapes and rich cultural heritage - an invitation for viewers to embark on their own explorations through art.
