EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 19th century, capturing a thrilling moment of hippo hunting with the Houarti tribe. The engraving, created by an unknown artist, was intended to illustrate Sir Samuel W. Baker's exploration of the Abyssinian tributaries of the Nile in 1861-62. In this scene, we witness the intense encounter between man and beast as harpoons and spears are wielded against a furious hippopotamus. The animal fiercely resists its attackers, showcasing its immense strength and determination. The landscape surrounding them is breathtakingly beautiful, with towering mountains serving as a dramatic backdrop for this perilous hunt. The image not only highlights the bravery and skill of these native African hunters but also provides insight into their way of life during that era. It offers a glimpse into their traditional methods of survival and showcases their deep connection with nature. Published in "Le tour du monde" in 1870-1871 under Edouard Charton's editorial guidance, this engraving has become part of the Selva Collection. Leonard de Selva has expertly captured this historical artwork through his photography skills. As we admire this remarkable piece from Fine Art Finder's private collection, it serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring fascination with both exploring new frontiers and understanding our place within nature's vast tapestry.
