EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Charged by a Rhinoceros" takes us back to the 19th century, where English School artists skillfully captured moments of danger and excitement. The print showcases an intense encounter between man and beast, as a brave individual finds himself in the path of a charging rhinoceros. The sheer power and aggression emanating from the rhino are palpable, its horn poised to strike with deadly force. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every muscle in the animal's body seems ready for action. The tension in this scene is heightened by the absence of color, allowing us to focus solely on the raw emotions conveyed through lines and shading. This engraving was originally created as an illustration for Chatterbox magazine in 1890, serving as both entertainment and education for readers at that time. It serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with nature's most formidable creatures. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded of our own vulnerability when faced with untamed forces. It prompts us to reflect on our place within the natural world – one that demands respect and caution. This artwork encapsulates not only an extraordinary moment frozen in time but also captures our eternal struggle against adversity. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical masterpiece from their private collection, ensuring that future generations can appreciate its artistic brilliance while contemplating mankind's relationship with wildlife throughout history.
