EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white illustration, titled "Nestor Fenleroc" by Louis Peltier, takes us back to the year 1923. The artwork showcases a scene from the adventurous life of Nestor Fenleroc, a European settler who embarked on an exciting safari in Africa. In this particular moment frozen in time, we witness Fenleroc's encounter with a majestic tiger. The detailed drawing captures the tension and danger of the hunt as Fenleroc bravely faces off against the ferocious feline. With his rifle raised high and determination etched on his face, he represents both the thrill-seeking spirit of colonialism and mankind's fascination with conquering nature. Commissioned for Le Printemps department store in Paris, this illustration was part of a catalogue promoting pop culture trends at that time. It not only appeals to adventure enthusiasts but also speaks to childhood dreams of exploration and discovery. Peltier's artistic style combines elements of realism with a touch of whimsy seen in cartoon-like features. This blend adds an element of charm to an otherwise intense subject matter. Today, this vintage print serves as a reminder of our complex relationship with wildlife and our ever-evolving understanding of conservation efforts. It invites viewers to reflect upon historical attitudes towards hunting while appreciating its artistic value within popular culture during that era.
