EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a dramatic moment in history - a tiger hunting in the woods of Meudon. The powerful animal had escaped from a nearby menagerie, causing panic and fear among the local residents. In response to this dangerous situation, a regiment of soldiers from the genie was called upon to protect the people and bring an end to the tiger's rampage. The engraving, featured in "Le petit journal" on June 13th, 1897, showcases Henri Meyer's artistic talent and his ability to capture the intensity of this event. The image depicts soldiers armed with rifles surrounding the majestic beast as it prowls through the dense forest. With their precise aim and unwavering bravery, they successfully shot down the ferocious predator. Leonard de Selva's photograph beautifully preserves this historical artwork from his private collection known as Selva Collection (LSE4326595). It serves as a reminder of both man's triumph over nature and our fascination with wildlife. This piece transports us back to late 19th-century France when such encounters were not uncommon due to menageries being popular attractions at that time. It also highlights how art can be used as a medium for storytelling and preserving important moments in history. Overall, this print is not only visually stunning but also offers insight into an extraordinary event that unfolded more than a century ago.
