EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print captures a thrilling moment in history as James Bruce, the intrepid Scottish explorer, bravely defends his tent from a cunning hyena. In the wilds of Maitsha, Abyssinia (near Gondar, Ethiopia), Bruce finds himself face to face with this striped hyena who had been pilfering wax candles from his camp. Armed with nothing but a pistol and pike, Bruce fearlessly confronts the intruder within the confines of his tent. The image showcases both his determination and resourcefulness as he takes on this formidable foe. With precision and skill, he aims his pistol while simultaneously wielding the pike to fend off any potential attack. This handcoloured copperplate engraving is part of Reverend Thomas Smith's renowned work "The Naturalists Cabinet". Published in 1806 by James Cundee in London, it offers fascinating insights into animal history through detailed scientific illustrations like this one. Bruce's encounter serves as an anecdote that highlights not only the dangers faced by explorers during their expeditions but also their ability to adapt and overcome adversity.
