EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a haunting moment from history - the dogs of Vasco Nunez de Balboa attacking the Indians. The engraving, created by Bry, Theodor de in the 16th century, depicts a scene of violence and brutality. In this chilling image, we witness Balboa delivering the helpless Indians to his ferocious molosses. The dogs are unleashed upon their victims with vicious intent, as chaos ensues. It is a stark reminder of the dark side of colonization and conquest. The composition evokes a sense of fear and desperation as the natives try to defend themselves against their attackers. One can almost feel their anguish and terror permeating through the print. A severed head lies on the ground nearby, serving as a grim testament to the savagery unfolding before our eyes. This photograph serves as both an historical document and a critique on human cruelty. It forces us to confront uncomfortable truths about our past while also reminding us that such acts continue to occur today. As we observe this disturbing mealtime scene unfold within these frames, it is impossible not to be moved by its raw power. This image stands as a somber reminder of humanity's capacity for violence and serves as an urgent call for empathy and understanding towards all cultures.
