EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1878, where we find ourselves in the midst of a mesmerizing performance at the Royal Aquarium in London. The subject of this wood engraving is Lualla, an Abyssinian snake charmer who has captured the attention and imagination of all those present. Lualla stands tall and confident, her gaze fixed on something beyond our sight. In her hands rests a beautifully coiled serpent, its scales glistening under the spotlight. The artist skillfully captures every detail - from Lualla's intricate traditional attire to the intense expression on her face. The atmosphere surrounding Lualla is one of intrigue and wonderment. Spectators lean forward in their seats, eager to witness this exotic spectacle unfold before them. It is as if time stands still within this moment; both Lualla and her serpentine companion hold everyone captive with their mysterious allure. This engraving not only showcases a remarkable performance but also serves as a window into history. It offers us a glimpse into Victorian England's fascination with foreign cultures and exotic entertainments that were brought to life within venues like the Royal Aquarium. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of how art can transport us across centuries and continents, allowing us to appreciate moments long gone while igniting our curiosity for worlds unknown.
