EDITORS COMMENTS
The striking image captured in this print showcases the fierce Amazons and warriors of Dahomey, a series created by the renowned Pellerin printer in 1860. Led by Jean-Charles Pellerin, a talented French draftsman, illustrator, and printer, this collection of images is a testament to his artistic vision and skill.
Pellerin's grandson, Charles Nicolas Pellerin, continued the family legacy by introducing cardboard models to cut and assemble as part of the Epinal print production. This innovative approach added another dimension to their already impressive body of work.
The depiction of these powerful women warriors from Dahomey is both captivating and historically significant. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring to life a moment in time that continues to fascinate viewers centuries later.
As we gaze upon this piece of artistry, we are transported back to the 19th century when Europe was captivated by tales of African warriors and exotic lands. The bravery and strength exuded by these Amazonian figures serve as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that has shaped our world.
This print is not just a visual masterpiece but also a window into history, inviting us to explore different cultures and traditions with an open mind. It stands as a tribute to the craftsmanship and creativity of the Pellerin family who left an indelible mark on the world of printing.
