EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a dramatic scene from the 17th century in the Philippines. In this heart-wrenching moment, a brave man is seen valiantly saving his wife from the clutches of a crocodile in a treacherous river. The image, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, depicts an account written by Father Navaretti in his Travels during Manila's colonial period. Tragically, despite her husband's heroic efforts, the woman succumbed to her injuries and lost her life. This poignant anecdote serves as a reminder of both human resilience and nature's unforgiving power. The crocodile featured in this artwork is believed to be the critically endangered Philippine crocodile (Crocodylus mindorensis), also known as Mindoro crocodile or bukarot. Handcoloured copperplate engraving techniques were employed to bring this scientific illustration to life. Reverend Thomas Smith curated this piece for his book "The Naturalists Cabinet" which offered intriguing insights into animal history. Smith was renowned for his writings on various subjects such as natural history, religion, philosophy, ancient history, and astronomy during his active years between 1803-1818. This extraordinary photograph not only showcases Filipino culture but also highlights our complex relationship with wildlife and their habitats throughout history.
