EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Europe" takes us on a visual journey through the diverse wildlife and cultural elements of the continent. Created by an anonymous German School artist in the 19th century, this print is part of a private collection. The image showcases various animals, including dogs, wolves, bears, camels, and even an elephant. These creatures are depicted in captivity within zoological gardens or performing for an audience. While it highlights the educational aspect of observing these animals up close, it also raises questions about cruelty and confinement. Amidst this menagerie of fauna, we see European landscapes adorned with costumes and hunting scenes. The presence of parrots and peacocks adds a touch of exoticism to the composition. Additionally, antlers symbolize Europe's rich natural heritage. The engraving offers insight into both historical German culture and society's fascination with nature during that era. It was originally published as part of Die Welt in Bildern (Braun & Schneider), reflecting Germany's interest in educational publications at that time. As we gaze upon this intricate artwork from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded not only of Europe's diverse animal kingdom but also its complex relationship with nature – one that combines entertainment with conservation efforts.
