EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Tiger attacking a woman" takes us back to the early 20th century, specifically the 15th of March in 1914. The image was featured as the back cover illustration in Le Petit Journal's supplement illustre. A stunning example of colour lithography by an anonymous French School artist, this artwork now resides in a private collection. The scene depicted is both thrilling and terrifying. A courageous yet unfortunate woman finds herself at the mercy of a ferocious tiger deep within the jungles of Indo China. The intensity of the moment is palpable as she desperately tries to defend herself against this formidable predator. This powerful image raises questions about wildlife, violence, and our relationship with nature. It serves as a stark reminder that even amidst civilization's progress, we are still vulnerable to the untamed forces that surround us. The presence of hunters and rifles suggests that this may have been an incident during a hunting expedition or perhaps an encounter gone wrong. The bloodied aftermath hints at the brutality inherent in such encounters between humans and animals. While it is unclear whether this photograph captures a real-life event or if it was merely inspired by news reports from that time period, one thing remains certain: it leaves an indelible mark on our collective consciousness—a haunting reminder of humanity's place within nature's intricate web.
