EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming 19th-century chromolitho print titled "Photographing the Dodo, New Year Card" captures a whimsical scene that is sure to bring a smile to your face. In this delightful image, we see a group of men gathered around a camera stand with their tripods and photographic equipment, all focused on capturing the perfect shot. The central figure appears to be aiming his camera at an imaginary subject - the elusive dodo bird. The setting is filled with festive elements, as it is believed to be a New Year card design. A happy new year greeting and poem can be seen in the corner, adding to the celebratory atmosphere. The photographer's umbrella and blanket suggest that this photo shoot may have taken place outdoors during wintertime or perhaps during Hogmanay celebrations. What makes this print particularly intriguing is its playful nod towards fantasy and imagination. As we know today, dodos are extinct birds that once inhabited Mauritius Island in the Indian Ocean. However, in this artwork's world, they still exist – even if only through photography! Whether you're an art enthusiast or simply looking for something unique to decorate your space with, this print will surely add charm and intrigue to any room. It serves as a reminder of our fascination with nature's wonders and our desire to capture them forever through photography - no matter how fantastical they may seem!
