EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Lions domestiques en Orient" showcases an engraving by the French School from the 19th century. The image is part of a private collection and depicts domesticated lions in the Orient, serving as a specimen for the drawings found in the volume "L'Homme et la Bête" available at MM Didot on Rue Jacob. Originally published as an illustration for La Chasse Illustree, a publication by Firmin Didot during 1870-71. The enchanting scene transports us to a rural landscape with lush green pastures, where these majestic creatures coexist harmoniously with humans. It offers a glimpse into a time when lions were not only seen as wild animals but also tamed companions. This portrayal highlights their role within households, serving various functions such as hunting partners or even household attendants. The intricate details captured through this engraving showcase the skill of the artist and provide us with insight into European society's fascination with exotic wildlife during that era. Lions symbolize strength and power, making them ideal subjects for artistic representation. As we admire this remarkable piece of artistry, it reminds us of our connection to nature and how humanity has interacted with animals throughout history. It serves as both an aesthetic delight and historical documentation of our complex relationship with wildlife.
