EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century takes us back in time to a bustling railway station in India. The image depicts an unexpected and somewhat awkward visitor amidst the chaos of travelers and porters. Standing on the platform, a man is seen with an air of curiosity and surprise as he encounters a majestic Bengal tiger. The black and white illustration captures the essence of this extraordinary encounter, showcasing the stark contrast between man and beast. The intricate details bring to life the texture of the tiger's fur, while also highlighting the architectural beauty of the station building in the background. As we delve deeper into this scene, we are transported not only to India but also to Paris, as indicated by references to Seine et Oise and moorings. This fusion adds another layer of intrigue to this already mesmerizing artwork. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this engraving offers a glimpse into Indian culture during that era. It reminds us of how diverse wildlife coexisted with human activity even within urban spaces like railway stations. With its historical significance and artistic excellence, this print serves as a testament to both human fascination with exotic animals and our ever-evolving relationship with nature.
