EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a heart-wrenching scene in the Arctic wilderness. A brave polar bear fiercely defends her precious cub against a pack of relentless dogs, while hunters armed with rifles patiently await their opportunity to strike. The intensity and raw emotion depicted in this engraving is truly remarkable. The image serves as an illustration for Doctor Hayes' voyage to the free sea of the Arctic pole, undertaken between 1860 and 1862. Published in "Le tour du monde, nouveau journal des voyages" edited by Edouard Charton in 1868, Paris, it offers a glimpse into the perilous journey faced by explorers during that era. The polar bear's unwavering determination to protect her offspring symbolizes the fierce maternal instinct found throughout nature. It highlights the harsh realities faced by animals in their struggle for survival amidst changing environments and encroaching human presence. As viewers gaze upon this artwork from the Selva Collection, they are transported back to a time when exploration was fraught with danger and uncertainty. The skillful craftsmanship of an unknown artist brings this dramatic encounter vividly to life. This photograph reminds us of both our fascination with nature's wonders and our responsibility to preserve these fragile ecosystems for future generations. It serves as a powerful reminder that we must strive towards coexistence rather than domination over our fellow creatures on this planet we all call home.
