EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a truly extraordinary moment in nature's intricate web of life. In this stunning image, we witness the raw power and primal beauty of the animal kingdom as a giant spider feasts upon an unsuspecting hummingbird. The photograph, taken by renowned English photographer Edward Step in the 20th century, is now part of a private collection. The scene depicted here is both awe-inspiring and slightly unsettling. It serves as a reminder that even the smallest creatures can fall prey to larger predators in the wild. The delicate hummingbird, known for its agility and grace, becomes an unfortunate meal for this formidable arachnid. This particular image was originally used as an illustration for "The New Book of Knowledge" edited by Sir John Hammerton around 1948. Its inclusion in such a publication highlights its significance not only as a work of art but also as an educational tool to showcase the wonders and sometimes harsh realities found within our natural world. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness this rare event frozen forever on film. It serves as a testament to human curiosity about history and our fascination with capturing moments that might otherwise go unnoticed or forgotten.
