EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving from 1923, we are transported to the vast landscapes of Africa as Nestor Fenleroc, a European colonist and photographer, captures an ostrich in its natural habitat. The image is part of Louis Peltier's illustrious collection titled "Les grand chasses de Nestor Fenleroc" commissioned for the renowned Parisian department store Le Printemps. As we delve into the scene, we witness Fenleroc skillfully maneuvering his camera to immortalize this magnificent creature. With his camera poised and ready, he epitomizes the spirit of adventure that characterized European settlers during this era. The artwork not only showcases the beauty of wildlife but also sheds light on themes such as colonialism and exploration. It serves as a reminder of how Europeans ventured into foreign lands with their cameras and weapons in search of new discoveries and conquests. This engraving encapsulates a pivotal moment in history when cultures collided and native populations were impacted by colonization. Through Peltier's artistry, we gain insight into the complex dynamics between humans and animals within these colonial contexts. With every stroke of his engraver's tool, Peltier masterfully brings together elements of nature, culture, and civilization. This print reminds us that even amidst moments of discovery and wonderment lies a deeper narrative about power dynamics between colonizers and indigenous communities. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from our past—a testament to both artistic brilliance and historical significance—allowing us to reflect upon our shared human journey through time.
