EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a dramatic moment in the story "Quatre mois en Florida" by M. Pousselgue, published in 1869. The print depicts Job, the travel companion of the redactor, being viciously attacked by a group of menacing vultures. The unknown artist skillfully portrays the intensity of this assault, with each detail meticulously etched into the engraving. The viewer can almost feel Job's fear and desperation as he tries to fend off these raptors. The image serves as a powerful reminder of the dangers that lurk in nature during journeys through unexplored territories. It evokes a sense of vulnerability and highlights the harsh realities faced by early explorers in their quest for discovery. Published under the direction of D Edouard Charton in "le tour du monde" this engraving is part of the Selva Collection and showcases an important chapter in American history. It offers viewers a glimpse into life during 19th-century America, where encounters with wildlife were both awe-inspiring and perilous. Leonard de Selva's expert photography brings out every intricate detail, making this print truly come alive despite its monochromatic palette. This historical artwork not only tells a gripping tale but also invites us to reflect on our own journeys through unfamiliar landscapes where unexpected challenges may arise.
