EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century, titled "Le monstre lui avait coupe la jambe" tells a gripping story of human survival in the face of a ferocious crocodile attack. The print, part of a private collection, showcases the talent and skill of French School artists during this era. The image depicts a dramatic scene where an unfortunate individual has fallen victim to the monstrous jaws of a crocodile. The attacker has ruthlessly severed their leg, leaving them in grave danger. This historical artwork serves as both a news item and an illustration for Le Tour Du Monde magazine published by Hachette in 1866. With its digitally cleaned appearance, this print allows us to appreciate the intricate details and emotions captured by the artist. It transports us back to Africa during that time period when encounters with dangerous wildlife were not uncommon. As we gaze upon this hauntingly beautiful piece, we are reminded of our own vulnerability and resilience as humans. It serves as a reminder that even in moments of great peril and tragedy, there is always hope for survival against all odds. Bridgeman Images presents this remarkable work through Fine Art Finder, allowing art enthusiasts worldwide to explore history through visual storytelling without mentioning any commercial use or affiliations with companies.
