EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "Le Premier Feu Allume A L Entree Des Cavernes Devenues Lieux D Inhumations" takes us back to the distant past, offering a glimpse into prehistoric times. Created by the French School in the 19th century, this print captures an important moment in history. The image depicts Edouard Lartet's excavation at the cave in Aurignac, where he discovered evidence of early human burial practices. The illustration was originally featured in Henri Du Cleuziou's book "La Creation de L Homme et les Premiers Ages de L Humanite" published in 1887. In this scene, we witness the first fire being lit at the entrance of these caverns that have become burial sites. It symbolizes a significant milestone for mankind as fire played a crucial role in our evolution and survival. The flickering flames illuminate the dark cave and cast shadows on men who gather around it, their faces filled with awe and curiosity. This historical artwork not only showcases humanity's ancient origins but also pays homage to those pioneering archaeologists like Edouard Lartet who dedicated their lives to unraveling our past. As we admire this engraving today, let us reflect on how far we have come as a species and appreciate our ancestors' ingenuity and resilience during those primitive times.
