EDITORS COMMENTS
This colored engraving, titled "The way the blacks in Amerika skin the boa" offers a glimpse into the rich cultural diversity and wildlife of 19th century America. Created by an anonymous German artist and part of Friedrich Justin Bertuch's Picture Book for Children (1790-1830), this print showcases the unique relationship between African Americans and nature. Intriguingly, it depicts a scene where individuals from African descent skillfully skin a magnificent boa constrictor. The artwork beautifully captures their expertise and respect for these reptiles, highlighting their deep connection with the natural world. The intricate details bring to life not only the majestic snake but also its significance within various cultures. As we observe this historical piece, we are reminded of how different peoples interacted with animals in diverse ways during that era. It serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and our shared fascination with wildlife. Preserved in a private collection, this print continues to inspire awe through its portrayal of serpentine beauty intertwined with cultural practices. Its presence reminds us of our collective responsibility to appreciate and protect Earth's creatures—a timeless message that resonates even today. Thanks to ePurix Verlag Volker Christen and Bridgeman Images' efforts, we can now relish this remarkable artwork without any limitations imposed by copyright restrictions.
