EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a dramatic moment in Alexandria, Egypt, where a fearless female snake charmer finds herself in the clutches of a powerful boa constrictor. The vibrant colours of this lithograph bring to life the intensity and danger of the situation. Intriguingly, this image was originally created as an illustration for Le Petit Journal on January 16th, 1910. It showcases the incredible talent and bravery of snake charmers who entertained audiences with their daring acts involving these mesmerizing reptiles. The woman's striking costume adds to the allure and mystique surrounding her profession. As she fearlessly confronts one of nature's most formidable predators, we are reminded of both her skillful control over snakes and the inherent risks involved in such performances. The contrast between human and animal is starkly evident here - one representing entertainment while the other symbolizes untamed wildlife. This clash serves as a reminder that even within controlled environments like circuses or shows, there remains an element of unpredictability when dealing with wild creatures. Through this photograph, we witness not only an extraordinary encounter but also gain insight into cultural practices prevalent during that era. It stands as a testament to human fascination with dangerous animals and our enduring desire for thrilling spectacles that push boundaries. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from French School in their private collection so that viewers can appreciate its historical significance and artistic brilliance for years to come.
