EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Amazons" takes us back in time to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the fascinating world of J. Dufay's "Histoire des voyages autour du monde". Published by Courvalet & Co. in Paris in 1826, this color engraving showcases the remarkable talent of the French School. In this illustration, we find ourselves immersed in an exotic island setting surrounded by the vast ocean. A group of fierce and powerful Amazons captures our attention as they engage in various activities that reflect their strength and resourcefulness. With arrows at their side and weapons within reach, these women exude confidence and fearlessness. The scene reveals a harmonious blend of daily life and survival skills: hammocks sway gently between trees while utensils lie nearby, indicating moments of relaxation amidst their warrior lifestyle. The Amazons' bare chests proudly display intricate tattoos or markings that symbolize their unity and identity. Nature plays an integral role here; fish swim freely beneath them as canoes rest on shorelines ready for exploration. These women are not only skilled hunters but also guardians of their land's wildlife. While nudity is present among these warriors, it serves as a testament to their connection with nature rather than mere objectification. Shields protect them from potential threats while bows and spears showcase their proficiency with weaponry. Overall, this stunning print transports us to a realm where strong female figures reign supreme – inspiring awe through both artistic mastery and historical significance
