EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Drama about the French liner 'Saint Etienne'" depicts a chaotic scene that unfolded on board the ill-fated ship. In this dramatic image from 1927, we witness an extraordinary event where several wild animals intended for English zoological gardens managed to escape their cages and wreak havoc upon the unsuspecting crew members. The artist skillfully captures the fear and danger that permeate the air as a gorilla, tiger, lion, and snake roam freely amidst terrified humans. The expressions of anguish and anxiety etched onto their faces convey the sheer panic that ensues in such a perilous situation. The detailed rendering of each animal showcases their power and ferocity. The tawny mane of the lion stands out against its surroundings while the striped coat of the tiger exudes both beauty and menace. Meanwhile, monkeys swing from ropes overhead, adding another layer of chaos to this already tumultuous scene. Through this artwork, we are transported back to a time when exotic animals were transported by sea for public display. It serves as a reminder of how unpredictable nature can be when confronted with human attempts at control. Overall, this engraving is not only visually striking but also evokes curiosity about historical events surrounding animal transportation during early twentieth-century times.
