EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a heart-stopping moment in the wild. In the vicinity of Bambare, Congo, a fearless man finds himself face to face with danger as a powerful leopard leaps upon him. The intense scene unfolds as the ferocious animal sinks its teeth cruelly into his back, leaving no doubt about the severity of this encounter. Engraved by Emile Bayard and based on David Livingstone's last diary entry, this illustration brings to life an extraordinary event that unfolded between 1866 and 1873. Published in "Le tour du monde" in 1875 under Edouard Charton's editorial guidance, this image has become an iconic representation of bravery amidst adversity. The Selva Collection proudly presents this remarkable piece from their private collection. It serves as a testament to both human resilience and the untamed power of nature found within Africa's vast landscapes. This engraving encapsulates not only the dangers faced by explorers like Livingstone but also highlights the delicate balance between humans and wildlife. As we gaze upon this striking photograph, we are reminded of our place within nature's grand tapestry. It sparks contemplation about our responsibility towards preserving these magnificent creatures' habitats while honoring those who have risked everything for discovery and knowledge. Leonard de Selva expertly captures every detail in this historic moment frozen in time, allowing us to reflect on humanity's relationship with the natural world around us.
