EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "Hunting the Gorilla" we are transported to the heart of a thrilling adventure in the 19th century. The English School artist skillfully captures the intensity and danger of pursuing one of nature's most formidable creatures, the gorilla. The scene unfolds amidst lush foliage, with a group of hunters stealthily making their way through dense undergrowth. Armed with rifles and determination etched on their faces, they navigate an unforgiving terrain in search of their elusive prey. Their every move is calculated as they track down this majestic yet fearsome animal. This print is a testament to both man's fascination with wildlife and his desire to conquer untamed lands. It serves as a reminder that even in an era when exploration was at its peak, humans were still humbled by the sheer power and mystery held within nature's realm. Digitally cleaned for modern viewing pleasure, this image from Cassells Natural History (Cassell, 1883) transports us back in time while preserving its historical significance. With each intricate detail meticulously engraved onto paper, it allows us to appreciate not only the artistry but also gain insight into how our perception of animals has evolved over time. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, let us reflect on our relationship with these magnificent creatures and ponder how far we have come since then – both in terms of understanding them and protecting their habitats for future generations.
