EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Human (coloured engraving)" by the German School in the 19th century. The artwork, part of a private collection, is an exquisite example of Johann Carl Bock's engraving skills. Originally published in "Die Säugethiere in Abbildungen nach der Natur mit Beschreibungen" by Johann Christian Daniel von Schreber, this piece explores the concept of human races. Intriguingly, the print depicts various racial groups: the American race, the Malay race, the Caucasian race, and the Mongolian race among others. Each figure is meticulously detailed and beautifully rendered through Bock's masterful technique. This illustration offers a glimpse into historical perceptions and categorizations of different human populations. "The Human (coloured engraving)" invites viewers to reflect on notions of diversity and identity throughout history. It prompts us to question how these classifications have shaped our understanding of ourselves and others. With its rich colors and intricate details, this print from ePurix Verlag Volker Christen captures both artistic excellence and anthropological curiosity. As we admire this remarkable work, let us appreciate its significance as a testament to our shared humanity while recognizing that it reflects outdated ideas about racial distinctions. Bridgeman Images' inclusion of this image in their Fine Art Finder collection allows art enthusiasts worldwide to explore not only aesthetic beauty but also cultural perspectives embedded within historical artworks like "The Human (coloured engraving).
