EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 19th century, deep into the heart of Africa. The image depicts a thrilling moment in time when a hunter named Charles Jean Anderson finds himself face to face with an enormous elephant near Lake Ngami in Botswana. Illustrated by the talented Gustave Dore, this engraving was featured in "Le tour du monde, nouveau journal des voyages" published in Paris in 1860. The intensity of the scene is palpable as we witness the danger that lurks within these wild lands. The artist's intricate details bring every element to life - from the hunter's startled expression to the sheer size and power of the majestic elephant. It serves as a reminder of both man's quest for adventure and his vulnerability when confronted by nature's might. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece from Leonard de Selva's collection, we are transported back in time, immersing ourselves in an era where exploration and hunting were intertwined. This photograph not only captures a single moment frozen forever but also tells tales of courage, resilience, and survival against all odds. Let this artwork serve as a window into history, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic beauty and its significance as a testament to human curiosity and our eternal fascination with wildlife.
