EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Hunting birds of paradise in New Guinea" takes us back to the early 20th century, where French hunters ventured into the lush rainforests of New Guinea in search of these exquisite creatures. The lithograph, part of a private collection, showcases the vibrant colors and intricate details of these elusive birds. During this era, feathers from birds of paradise were highly coveted as fashionable accessories for ladies' hats. The image provides a glimpse into the process behind acquiring these prized plumes - an endeavor that required both skill and patience. The hunters are depicted amidst towering trees and dense foliage, their eyes scanning the treetops for any sign of movement. The composition beautifully captures the delicate balance between human exploration and nature's wonders. It serves as a reminder of our fascination with exotic wildlife and our desire to possess its beauty. However, it also raises questions about conservation and ethical practices surrounding such pursuits. This artwork originally appeared as an illustration in Le Petit Journal on November 8th, 1908. Its inclusion in this publication speaks to society's growing interest in natural history during that time period. Through this photograph print by Bridgeman Images, we are transported to a different era - one filled with adventure, discovery, and an appreciation for the breathtaking diversity found within our planet's rainforests.
