EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Mammoth before the flood, 1864" takes us back to a time long gone. Created by the talented artist Edouard Riou in the 19th century, this print showcases his remarkable skill in capturing the essence of prehistoric life. The image transports us to an era when mammoths roamed the Earth freely. The majestic creature depicted here is Elephas primigenius, commonly known as the woolly mammoth. Its massive body and impressive tusks are beautifully rendered by Riou's meticulous hand. As we gaze upon this engraving, we can't help but wonder about the world that existed before our own. It evokes a sense of awe and curiosity towards prehistory and natural history as a whole. The megalithic landscape surrounding the mammoth hints at an ancient past filled with mystery and wonder. Riou's attention to detail brings every element of this artwork to life – from the texture of its fur to each intricately carved bone in its skeleton. Through his artistry, he invites us into a realm where zoology meets imagination. This print captures not only Riou's artistic brilliance but also Jaime Abecasis' talent for preserving historical masterpieces through photography. It serves as a reminder of how art transcends time, allowing us to connect with our past while appreciating its beauty in our present day.
