EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a time long gone, offering a glimpse into the intriguing customs and traditions of 19th-century Africa. The illustration, featured in "Le Pelerin" on December 4,1898, depicts a daring crocodile hunt in Niger with an astonishing twist - using a child as bait. The unknown artist skillfully captures the intensity of this ancient practice, showcasing the bravery and resourcefulness of native African hunters. In this scene, we witness a group of men strategically positioning themselves around the shores of a vast lake while one courageous child stands fearlessly at its edge. With bated breaths and hearts pounding with anticipation, they await the moment when their prey will strike. This image raises many questions about civilization's complex relationship with nature and how it has evolved over time. It offers insight into traditional hunting techniques that were once prevalent among certain populations but are now considered ethically questionable. Stefano Bianchetti's meticulous reproduction allows us to appreciate both the artistic value and historical significance of this piece. As we gaze upon it today, let us reflect on our own changing attitudes towards wildlife conservation and recognize how far we have come since those distant days bygone.
