EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable moment on the island of Pulo Condore (Con Son, Vietnam) during the 19th century. In this scene, buffaloes are seen chasing boys into the sea, creating a spectacle that is both thrilling and awe-inspiring. The image originates from an incident on Captain James Cook's final voyage when English explorers procured eight water buffalo, Bubalus bubalis. However, they encountered difficulty loading them onto their ships. This particular event showcases the challenges faced by these colonists as they attempted to transport these magnificent creatures. Handcoloured copperplate engraving brings this historical anecdote to life in vivid detail. The work is part of Reverend Thomas Smith's renowned publication "The Naturalists Cabinet" which offers fascinating insights into animal history. Florilegius has preserved this significant piece of natural history through its meticulous reproduction process. The print not only serves as a scientific illustration but also provides valuable glimpses into zoology and ancient exploration. As we admire this artwork today, it reminds us of the rich tapestry of human-animal interactions throughout history. It invites contemplation about our relationship with nature and how it has evolved over time. Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate such extraordinary prints from various eras and regions around the world while preserving their cultural significance for generations to come.
