EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Eating the Flesh of a Prisoner According to the Old Historian" transports us back in time to a dark chapter of history. Created by an unknown German artist in the 17th century, this print is part of Gottfried's Historia Antipodum, published in 1655. The scene depicted here is both haunting and intriguing. It portrays a group of individuals engaged in an unsettling act: cannibalism. The artist skillfully captures their expressions, conveying a mix of hunger and desperation as they feast upon the flesh of a prisoner. The atmosphere is tense, with shadows dancing across their faces and highlighting every gruesome detail. This image serves as a reminder that throughout history, humanity has been capable of unspeakable acts driven by survival or cultural practices. It prompts us to reflect on our own moral compasses and question what we would do under similar circumstances. Published over two centuries after its creation, this print found its way into W. H. Koebel's book "The Romance of the River Vol. I" in 1914. Now residing within a private collection, it continues to captivate viewers with its macabre subject matter. As we gaze upon this disturbing yet thought-provoking artwork from centuries past, let us not forget the power it holds - reminding us that even within darkness lies valuable lessons about our shared human experience.
