EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "An Aboriginal in Danger; An Ascent of the Cofre de Perote, Mexico, 1875" captures a thrilling moment in time. In this image, an indigenous man is seen bravely climbing a tall tree to escape from a menacing herd of wild boar. The setting is the Cofre de Perote, an inactive volcano located in the lush Mexican state of Veracruz. The unknown creator skillfully portrays the danger and peril faced by this native man as he seeks refuge high above the forest floor. The intensity of the scene is heightened by the presence of these powerful Eurasian wild pigs that are known for their aggression. This photograph not only showcases nature's raw beauty but also sheds light on the resilience and resourcefulness of indigenous people living amidst such untamed landscapes. It serves as a reminder of their deep connection with nature and their ability to adapt to challenging circumstances. Originally featured in H. W. Bates' Illustrated Travels publication from Cassell, Petter, and Galpin in London during the late 19th century, this image stands as a testament to Henry Walter Bates' exploration and documentation efforts. As we admire this remarkable piece from our heritage collection at The Print Collector, let us appreciate both its artistic value and historical significance – preserving memories that capture moments like these for generations to come.
