EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the main attraction of a prodigious jumper in action. The skilled performer effortlessly jumps through hoops mounted on intersecting poles, showcasing their incredible agility and precision. What makes this act even more impressive is the balanced jug they carry at the point where the hoops meet, demonstrating remarkable control and coordination. In addition to jumping through hoops, the talented individual can also cross a long cylinder made of bamboo lattice that lays on an easel. This challenging feat requires not only physical strength but also great balance and focus. Accompanied by songs and music, this spectacle becomes a mesmerizing experience for all who witness it. The print is based on an engraving that illustrates Aime Humbert's journey to Japan in 1863-1864. As minister of the Swiss Confederation, Humbert documented his travels in "le tour du monde" edited by Edouard Charton and published by Hachette in Paris in 1869. This particular image is part of the Selva Collection and was captured by Leonard de Selva. It showcases both artistic excellence and historical significance as it offers a glimpse into entertainment during the 19th century. With its vivid depiction of skillful acrobatics set against a backdrop of cultural exploration, this print truly captivates viewers with its timeless charm.
