EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration from the Venationes, Ferarum, Avium, Piscium series takes us back to a time of great exploration and survival. In this scene, sailors find themselves in a horrid barbarian country where hunger has driven them to extreme measures. With muskets in hand, they resort to killing camels on the beach as a means of relieving their starvation. Engraved by Jan Collaert and published by Phillipus Gallaeus in Amsterdam during the 17th century, this print showcases the desperation faced by these sailors during their expedition. The coastal scene is beautifully depicted with ships anchored nearby and hunters taking aim at the dromedaries that roam the island. The image captures both the harsh reality of survival and the ingenuity required for sustenance in unfamiliar territories. It serves as a reminder of humanity's resilience when faced with adversity. The intricate details in this engraving bring to life not only the actions of these sailors but also highlight various wildlife animals present on this island. From camels to other species that inhabit this coastal region, it paints a vivid picture of an ecosystem teeming with life despite its desolate appearance. As we gaze upon this artwork from Fine Art Finder's Stapleton Collection, we are transported back centuries ago when exploration was fraught with danger and discovery often came at great cost.
