EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "The Ruaha River, Tanzania" takes us back to the enchanting landscapes of 19th century Africa. Published in 1888 as part of the renowned book "Africa Pintoresca" this print showcases the incredible talent of Spanish School artists. In this scene, we are transported to the riverbank where a group of African tribesmen stand together with their spears at hand. Their faces express fear and concern as they witness a crocodile swiftly gliding through the water towards them. The tension is palpable as these brave men contemplate their next move. Amidst this moment of danger, one can't help but notice the unity among these natives. They wave their arms and gesture urgently to each other, communicating in an attempt to protect themselves from harm's way. Birds soar above them, perhaps sensing the imminent danger that lurks beneath. The monochrome palette adds depth and drama to this powerful composition, emphasizing both the beauty and harshness of nature in its rawest form. This print not only captures a specific moment in time but also serves as a testament to human resilience when faced with adversity. As we gaze upon this historic artwork from our private collection, we are reminded of both our shared humanity and our connection with nature—a timeless reminder that transcends borders and centuries past.
