EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the art of "Throwing the Bolas" as described by Charles Darwin in his Journal of Researches. The engraving, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, transports us to the vast landscapes of South America during Darwin's voyage on the Beagle. In this scene, we witness an Argentinian gaucho on horseback skillfully wielding bolas - traditional balls used for capturing animals. With precision and expertise, he throws these weighted cords towards a group of ostriches or rheas grazing peacefully on the pampas. The horses stand tall and poised nearby, ready to assist their rider in this exhilarating hunt. The image showcases not only the technique employed by these skilled hunters but also highlights their harmonious relationship with nature. As Darwin observed firsthand during his expedition, gauchos relied on their deep understanding of animal behavior and expert horsemanship to successfully capture prey. This print offers us a glimpse into a world that is both awe-inspiring and humbling. It reminds us of our connection to nature and how humans have adapted ingenious methods throughout history for survival. Through this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness a thrilling moment where man harnesses his skills alongside majestic creatures like ostriches or rheas amidst sprawling South American plains known as pampas
