EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Hunting Crocodiles" transports us back in time to witness a thrilling moment of survival and skill. Engraved by Theodore de Bry in 1563, this coloured engraving is a detail from the larger work "Brevis Narratio". The scene depicts an intense confrontation between Native American Indians and ferocious crocodiles in North America. The image showcases the resourcefulness and bravery of the tribe as they engage in combat using traditional weapons such as spears, bows, and arrows. With their bodies painted for camouflage, these warriors fearlessly face off against the formidable reptiles. The tension is palpable as both sides prepare for battle. Le Moyne, Jacques (de Morgues), masterfully captures every intricate detail of this life-or-death struggle. From the intensity on each warrior's face to the powerful movements frozen in time, we are transported into this ancient world where survival depends on quick reflexes and unwavering courage. As we gaze upon this artwork, we cannot help but be drawn into its raw energy and primal beauty. It serves as a reminder of humanity's deep connection with nature and our eternal quest for survival against all odds. This remarkable piece invites us to reflect on our own resilience while marveling at the timeless artistry that brings history alive before our eyes.
