EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Shooting at Alligators" captures a moment of adventure and danger in 19th century America. The image showcases a scene from the Southern States of North America, where an individual is seen aiming their weapon at a group of alligators lurking in the Florida marshlands. The artwork is part of a private collection and was originally created as an illustration for J Wells Champney's book, "The Southern States of North America". Published in 1875 by Blackie, this profusely illustrated book aimed to provide readers with authentic glimpses into the diverse landscapes and wildlife found across the American South. Intricately detailed by an anonymous American School engraver, this print transports viewers back to a time when hunting alligators was not only considered thrilling but also served as a means for protecting communities from these formidable creatures. It offers us insight into the early government efforts to maintain safety within states like Florida. With its stark black and white contrast, this 19th-century engraving evokes nostalgia for a bygone era while showcasing the raw beauty of nature that once defined parts of America. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are reminded of our country's rich heritage and how it has evolved over time.
