EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Hunting a crocodile, Nubia, Egypt, 1887" takes us back to the enchanting landscapes of 19th century Egypt. The talented artist behind this masterpiece is Henri Bechard. From the collection of the Bibliotheque Nationale de France, this artwork showcases an extraordinary moment in time. In this scene, we witness a group of courageous men embarking on a daring adventure along the River Nile. Their target? A formidable reptile - a crocodile lurking beneath the water's surface. Led by an experienced hunter, they navigate through the riverbank with unwavering determination. The composition beautifully captures both the serenity and danger that coexist in this ancient land. The monochrome tones add depth and intensity to every detail: from the rippling waters to each individual's focused expression. Amongst them stands a young boy; his presence symbolizes bravery passed down through generations as he learns from his male counterparts about survival and respect for nature. This photograph not only highlights man's quest for conquest but also serves as a testament to Egypt's rich cultural heritage. It transports us back in time while reminding us of our connection with nature and our responsibility towards its preservation. Henri Bechard skillfully immortalized this thrilling moment in history through his art media, leaving us captivated by its beauty even today.
