EDITORS COMMENTS
Un crocodile pres d'Assouan, Notes de M Riou (engraving) captures the essence of a 19th-century French illustration that depicts an adventurous scene in Egypt. The image, part of a private collection, showcases the incredible talent and attention to detail of the French School during this era. The engraving was created for La Chasse Illustree (Firmin Didot, 1871-72), offering readers a glimpse into the world of hunting and bloodsports at that time. Set against a backdrop of lush green pastures and rural landscapes, it transports viewers to the countryside near Assouan in Egypt. In this artwork, we see a majestic crocodile basking near Assouan's tranquil waters. The reptile's powerful presence is beautifully rendered through intricate lines and shading techniques employed by the artist. This depiction not only highlights the exotic wildlife found in Africa but also reflects Europe's fascination with distant lands during this period. The print serves as a reminder of France's rich artistic heritage and its exploration beyond European borders. It offers us an opportunity to appreciate both nature's beauty and humanity's desire for adventure. This remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images allows us to delve into history while admiring exceptional craftsmanship. It reminds us that art has always been instrumental in capturing moments frozen in time.
