EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Le Naja Du Cap" transports us back to the 19th century, immersing us in a world of excitement and danger. The image showcases an engraving by the French School, depicting a thrilling scene from Journal Des Voyages on February 28,1886. In this digitally cleaned image, we witness a dramatic encounter between an officer and a venomous cobra-like snake known as the Naja Du Cap. The setting is South Africa, where colonialism and exploration were at their peak. The fearless officer bravely defends himself against this monstrous creature with his pistol in hand. The tension is palpable as the snake lunges towards him while he sits atop a horse-drawn carriage on a dusty road. This artwork captures not only the perilous nature of African wildlife but also reflects the spirit of adventure that characterized voyages during that era. It serves as a reminder of the risks undertaken by British explorers who ventured into unknown territories in search of discovery. The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable; every stroke brings life to both man and beast alike. With its vibrant colors and dynamic composition, it truly captivates our imagination. As we gaze upon this fantastic creation from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded of how art can transport us to different times and places – allowing us to experience thrilling adventures without leaving our own surroundings.
