EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable scene from the heart of Africa, showcasing the hunting techniques of the Bongo tribe. The image portrays an intense moment as members of the tribe skillfully track down and capture rats known as aulacodes in their natural habitat among reeds. To locate these elusive rodents, they carefully spot the place where they reside before initiating their strategy. The photograph depicts an ingenious method employed by the Bongo tribe to flush out their prey. They set fire to dry grass surrounding the rodents' cottage, creating a smoky environment that forces them to flee for safety. As panic ensues, beets scurry out from their hiding places and unwittingly present themselves to waiting hunters. Engraved after an original drawing by A. de Bar, this illustration is part of Dr. George Schweinfurth's enthralling journey through Africa between 1868 and 1871. Published in "Le tour du monde" in 1874 under Edouard Charton's editorial guidance at Hachette edition in Paris, it offers a glimpse into an ancient tribal practice deeply rooted in African culture. Preserved within Selva Collection, this evocative piece showcases not only the artistic talent of Alexandre de Bar but also sheds light on unique cultural practices that have shaped human existence throughout history.
