This engraving titled "Ce fut une orgie de cannibales" transports us to the 19th century, where a scene of both humor and education unfolds. The artwork, created by an anonymous French School artist, showcases a shipwrecked vessel amidst a backdrop of chaos and amusement. Intriguingly, this print combines elements of science and anatomy with a touch of dark comedy. Mannequins resembling human bodies are scattered across the ship's deck, their plaster heads displaying amusing expressions.

This unexpected twist adds an element of surprise and intrigue to the composition while also shedding light on cultural practices that may have fascinated audiences during that era. The presence of various weapons throughout the engraving suggests potential conflicts or defensive measures taken by those aboard the ship. It is evident that this artwork not only aims to entertain but also encourages contemplation about armaments and weaponry used in different historical contexts. Overall, "Ce fut une orgie de cannibales" is a thought-provoking piece that seamlessly blends humor with educational undertones.
