EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Pursued by the arrows of the natives" takes us back to a thrilling moment in history. Created by an anonymous French School artist in the 19th century, this print is now part of a private collection. The image transports us to a time when brave explorers embarked on perilous journeys across uncharted territories. It serves as an illustration for Jules Verne's book, "The Great Navigators of the Eighteenth Century" published in 1880. In this scene, we witness a group of courageous navigators being pursued by native tribesmen armed with deadly arrows. The tension and urgency are palpable as these intrepid adventurers navigate through unfamiliar landscapes while evading their pursuers. The artwork not only captures the danger faced by these early explorers but also highlights their determination and resilience. Their quest for discovery and geographical knowledge pushed them beyond known boundaries, paving the way for future generations. As we gaze at this engraving, we can't help but admire both the skillful craftsmanship and historical significance it holds. It reminds us of humanity's insatiable curiosity and our relentless pursuit of understanding our world. Bridgeman Images has once again brought forth a remarkable piece from its Fine Art Finder collection that invites us to delve into an era where exploration was synonymous with bravery and adventure.
