EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Portrait of Peter the Wild Boy" takes us back to 19th century England and introduces us to a truly extraordinary individual. The subject of this portrait is none other than Peter the Wild Boy, a feral child who was discovered in the dense woodlands of Hanover, Germany. King George I was so intrigued by this enigmatic figure that he brought him to England where Peter would spend many years. This remarkable image captures his unique features and mysterious aura, offering a glimpse into his fascinating life. Published in the renowned New Wonderful Museum and Extraordinary Magazine, this engraving provides an insight into the public's fascination with feral children during that era. It serves as a testament to both human curiosity and our innate desire to understand those who exist outside societal norms. Peter's story not only sheds light on his own experiences but also offers valuable insights into German culture at that time. As we admire this portrait, we are reminded of Europe's rich history and its diverse tapestry of individuals whose lives have left indelible marks on our collective memory. Brought to life through Bridgeman Images' meticulous printmaking expertise, this print allows us to appreciate both the artistic mastery behind it and the intriguing narrative it represents.
