EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back to the wild and untamed landscapes of French Guiana in the 19th century. The scene depicts an incident during a duck hunt in the treacherous marecages of Pointe aux Moustiques or Pointe Macouria. As the hunter stands on his lookout, little does he know that danger lurks just beneath him. In a sudden and shocking turn of events, a massive boa constrictor launches its attack on the unsuspecting hunter. With jaws wide open and fangs bared, it coils around his body with deadly precision. The intensity of this life-or-death struggle is palpable as both man and serpent fight for survival. The artist skillfully captures not only the physical confrontation but also the emotional turmoil experienced by both predator and prey. It serves as a reminder that even in seemingly familiar surroundings, nature can unleash its raw power at any moment. This engraving was created by an unknown artist to illustrate Captain Frederic Bouyer's voyage through French Guiana between 1862-1863. Published under Edouard Charton's direction in "Le tour du monde, nouveau journal des voyages" in 1866, it offers viewers a glimpse into the thrilling adventures faced by explorers during this era. Preserved within private collections today, this artwork from Leonard de Selva allows us to appreciate not only its historical significance but also marvel at its artistic brilliance.
