EDITORS COMMENTS
In this haunting etching from the 19th century, we witness a chilling moment frozen in time. The unknown artist captures the terrifying scene of a crocodile snatching a child from an African village. The image is both captivating and distressing, as it portrays the raw power and danger that lurks within nature. The vivid colors used in this print intensify the horror unfolding before our eyes. The reptile's menacing jaws are wide open, ready to consume its helpless prey. Meanwhile, the child's mother stands nearby, her face contorted with anguish and despair as she witnesses her worst nightmare come true. This artwork serves as a reminder of the harsh realities faced by people living in close proximity to wildlife in Africa during that era. It also highlights the fragile balance between humans and animals in their natural habitats. The inclusion of information about Bernard Germain de Lacepede's Natural History adds another layer of depth to this piece. It connects us to scientific exploration and zoological studies prevalent during that time period. Jaime Abecasis skillfully captures this historical etching through his lens, preserving its significance for generations to come. As we gaze upon this photograph print, we cannot help but feel a mix of fascination and unease at witnessing such a tragic event unfold before our eyes.
