EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of intense observation and exploration. In the engraving, titled "Observation at theodolite, Dr Crevaux with his measuring instruments" we see Dr Crevaux alongside his team of guides and porters in full working session. The image is based on a drawing by Riou and was created to illustrate Jules Crevaux's story "De Cayenne aux Andes" published in 1880. Dr Crevaux, a doctor of the French navy, is shown using his measuring instruments while observing through a theodolite. His dedication to precision and accuracy is evident as he meticulously records data during this expedition in South America. The native environment surrounding them adds an element of adventure and discovery to the scene. The engraving not only highlights Dr Crevaux's scientific endeavors but also showcases the collaboration between explorers from different backgrounds. It serves as a testament to human curiosity and our relentless pursuit of knowledge. This remarkable piece from Leonard de Selva's collection offers us a glimpse into an era when exploration was both physically demanding and intellectually stimulating. It reminds us of the importance of pushing boundaries, embracing diversity, and seeking understanding across cultures for furthering our collective understanding of the world around us.
