EDITORS COMMENTS
In this vintage print, we are transported back to the heart of Africa in the 19th century. An African native stands tall and curious as he inspects a magnificent warrior termite nest. The sheer size and intricacy of the nest is awe-inspiring, reaching an astonishing height of 17 feet. The Warrior Termite (Macrotermes bellicosus) takes center stage in this snapshot from nature's theater. As the largest known termite species, it commands respect with its impressive mound-shaped nests that dot the African landscape. These towering structures serve as both shelter and fortress for these resilient insects. This engraving, taken from "The Universe or, The Infinitely Great and the Infinitely Little" published in 1882, captures not only a moment frozen in time but also highlights our fascination with biology and natural science during that period. As we gaze upon this historical illustration, we can't help but marvel at the wonders of wildlife found within Africa's diverse fauna. It serves as a reminder of how interconnected humans are with nature and how much there is still left to discover about our world. Ken Welsh's skillful depiction transports us into an era where exploration was paramount and scientific discovery was celebrated. This picture stirs up curiosity within us all – urging us to explore further into the infinitely great and infinitely little aspects of our universe.
