EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fascinating historical discovery made by the renowned explorer Marco Polo during his voyages to Asia. The image, taken from "The Book of Wonders" or "Devisement of the World" depicts an intriguing encounter with the People of Andaman cynocephals - peculiar human-like creatures adorned with dog heads. Marco Polo's extensive travels in the 13th century allowed him to document various cultures and phenomena previously unknown to Europe. This particular miniature, illustrated by the Master of Egerton between 1410-1412, provides a glimpse into one such extraordinary encounter. The enigmatic People of Andaman cynocephals are depicted in intricate detail, their canine features juxtaposed against their humanoid bodies. Their presence challenges conventional notions and sparks curiosity about ancient beliefs and legends surrounding mythical beings. Preserved within Ms 2810 at Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, this rare artifact offers us a window into Marco Polo's remarkable experiences as he traversed distant lands. It serves as a testament to humanity's eternal quest for knowledge and understanding beyond familiar horizons. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print captured by Photo Josse, we are reminded of how exploration has always been intertwined with our desire to unravel mysteries and expand our collective consciousness.
