EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Simi Vulpa, Haute and Armadilio" takes us back to the 16th century and offers a glimpse into Sir Walter Raleigh's expedition to Guiana. Published around 1599, this engraving showcases the rich diversity of South American wildlife encountered during Raleigh's journey. Intriguingly detailed, the illustration depicts hunters armed with bows and arrows in pursuit of exotic animals. The native indigenous people are skillfully portrayed as they navigate through dense foliage in search of their prey. Amongst the creatures being hunted is an opossum, its unique features beautifully captured by the artist. The print not only serves as a visual documentation of Raleigh's exploration but also highlights his fascination with the natural world. It reflects an era when European explorers were driven by curiosity and a thirst for discovery. With its historical significance and artistic merit, this image transports us to a time when uncharted territories beckoned adventurers like Raleigh. It reminds us of our innate human desire to explore new frontiers and unravel nature's mysteries. Displayed in private collections today, this print from "The Discovery of Guiana" continues to captivate viewers with its vivid portrayal of an age-old quest for knowledge and adventure.
