EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "Le gibbon de Bennett retrouvant son premier maitre" by the French School in the 19th century evokes a sense of loyalty and connection between man and animal. The artwork, now part of a private collection, depicts a heartwarming scene from Firmin Didot's publication La Chasse Illustree in 1875. In this enchanting image, we witness the reunion between a Bennett's gibbon and its first master. Set against a picturesque rural landscape with lush green pastures, it beautifully captures the essence of countryside life. The gibbon is portrayed as both a pet and wildlife animal, symbolizing the harmonious coexistence between humans and nature. The engraving also provides insights into hunting practices during that era. It alludes to state hunting and bloodsports prevalent at the time while showcasing an atmosphere of fidelity and faithfulness towards animals. With its intricate details meticulously etched onto paper, this piece exemplifies the skillful craftsmanship of the engraver. Furthermore, it incorporates elements of orientalism through its portrayal of men in traditional attire within an exotic street scene. As we admire this remarkable artwork from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded not only of our deep connection with animals but also our responsibility to protect their habitats. This print serves as a timeless reminder that loyalty knows no bounds – transcending species barriers for centuries to come.
