EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite engraving titled "Shaman with drum" by the European School, dating back to the 19th century. Held in a private collection, this remarkable piece of art is a visual representation of the profound connection between music and spirituality. The shaman depicted in this engraving holds a drum, which serves as both an instrument and a tool for communication with other realms. The rhythmic beats produced by the drum are believed to transport the shaman into altered states of consciousness, allowing them to connect with spirits and guide their community through healing rituals. This artwork was originally created as an illustration for Friedrich Ratzel's book "The History of Mankind" published by Macmillan in 1896. It offers us a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of various ethnic groups, specifically focusing on Mongols and their shamanistic practices. Through its intricate details and masterful execution, this engraving not only captures historical significance but also highlights the importance of ethnography in understanding different cultures. It reminds us that music has always played a vital role in human history, transcending boundaries and serving as a powerful medium for expression. Bridgeman Images' preservation and dissemination of such artistic treasures allow us to appreciate these glimpses into our collective past while acknowledging their enduring relevance today.
