EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Les kanguroos geants" takes us back to the 19th century French countryside. The image showcases a rural landscape with lush green pastures, offering a glimpse into the tranquil beauty of this era. The focal point of the print is undoubtedly the giant kangaroos that dominate the scene. These magnificent marsupials stand tall against the backdrop of rolling hills, their unique presence adding an air of mystery and fascination to this artwork. Originally created as an illustration for La Chasse Illustree in 1870-71, this engraving captures a moment from a state hunting event. It provides insight into France's historical connection with bloodsports and its rich cultural heritage surrounding hunting traditions. As we explore this piece further, we are reminded of France's diverse wildlife and its exotic inhabitants. Alongside the kangaroos, we can spot other animals like wombats within this zoological gathering. The menagerie depicted here transports us to a time when zoos were not only places for entertainment but also important centers for scientific study and conservation efforts. The artist skillfully employs intricate lines and shading techniques to bring these creatures to life on paper. This detailed engraving allows us to appreciate both the artistry involved in its creation as well as gain knowledge about European wildlife during that period. "Les kanguroos geants" serves as a timeless reminder of our fascination with nature's wonders while providing valuable insights into France's history and cultural practices surrounding animal welfare.
