EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Ostrich Hunter" takes us back to the late 19th century, showcasing an engraving by Alfred Paris. This artwork was created to illustrate the enthralling story of "Voyage a la Plata" written by Emile Daireaux in 1886 and featured in "Le Tour du Monde 1888" under the direction of Edouard Charton. The image transports us to the vast landscapes of Argentina, where an intrepid hunter on horseback embarks on a thrilling pursuit. The hunter's determined gaze and poised stance reflect his expertise and readiness for adventure. In this wild terrain, he seeks out one of South America's most iconic creatures - the ostrich. The powerful contrast between light and dark in this black-and-white engraving adds depth and intensity to the scene. It captures not only the beauty of nature but also highlights man's interaction with it during that era. This remarkable piece showcases several animals, including horses, racehorses, ponies, shire horses, stallions, as well as farm animals like livestock. The inclusion of these various species emphasizes their significance within Argentine culture at that time. Leonard de Selva skillfully preserves this historical masterpiece through his private collection while paying homage to its original creator. Through his lens or brushstroke preservation techniques are used to keep history alive for future generations who can appreciate both artistry and cultural significance captured within each frame or stroke.
