"Exploring the Depths of Savagery: A Glimpse into History" Step into the Aspland Carousel and embark on a journey through time, as we delve into encounters with savages from various corners of the world. From Western Australia to North Devon, England, witness the clash between civilizations. In 1871, a civilised visitor engages in conversation with a family living at Nymet Rowland in North Devon. The stark contrast between their way of life and ours is both intriguing and thought-provoking. As the summer sunrise casts its golden glow upon the Friulian Dolomites towards Vajont Valley, one wonders about ancient tribes like the Maipuri Indians inhabiting Upper Orinoco. Engraved images from 1781 depict them roasting members of a dead enemy – an eerie reminder of their fierce existence. Transporting us further back in time, we witness Christopher Columbus' landing on San Salvador Island in 1492. This pivotal moment from "The Discovery of America" lithograph series published in Barcelona (1878) showcases encounters between explorers and indigenous people – labeled as "savages. " Moving closer to home, John Derricke's woodcuts from his book "The Image of Ireland" (1581) portray Irish chieftains preparing for battle against English forces. These illustrations capture intense moments such as soldiers receiving blessings before departing or returning triumphantly with severed heads. Captain Cook's voyages also provide insight into clashes with savagery during exploration. In one illustration from "The Voyages of Captain Cook, " we see Captain Burney discovering his murdered shipmates - a haunting reminder that danger lurked even amidst discovery. Emperor Charles V's military achievements are immortalized by Dirk Volkertsz Coornhert's engravings (1555). Plate six depicts battlefield scenes in the New World circa 1530, showcasing the brutal realities faced by both conquerors and savages.
