EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Nestor Fenleroc, European settler hunting in Africa. 1923" captures a moment frozen in time during the era of colonialism. Created by Louis Peltier in 1923 for a catalogue of the renowned Parisian department store Le Printemps, this artwork offers a glimpse into the world of Nestor Fenleroc, an adventurous European settler. Intriguingly detailed and rich with symbolism, the engraving showcases Fenleroc as he embarks on a safari expedition through the African wilderness. Dressed in traditional hunting attire, his figure exudes masculinity and virility against the backdrop of untamed nature. The artist skillfully portrays both the allure and controversy surrounding colonialism as Fenleroc engages in wildlife hunting. The illustration not only serves as an advertisement for Le Printemps but also provides insight into early 20th-century attitudes towards Africa and its inhabitants. It invites contemplation on themes such as exploration, conquest, and cultural exchange that were prevalent during this period. Peltier's masterful technique brings life to every detail - from the texture of Fenleroc's clothing to the majestic animals that roam freely around him. This print is not merely a visual representation; it is an invitation to explore complex historical narratives intertwined with notions of power dynamics between Europe and Africa. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded of how art can transport us to different times and places while encouraging reflection on our shared human history.
