EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Catching an alligator with lasso, from The Amazon and Madeira Rivers" takes us on a thrilling adventure deep into the heart of the South American rainforest. Created by Franz Keller in 1874, this print captures a remarkable moment frozen in time. In this scene, we witness the bravery and skill of indigenous people as they confront one of nature's most fearsome creatures - an alligator. A group of South American Indians stand along the sandy shore, their gazes fixed intently on their target. With precision and agility, one brave soul expertly throws a lasso towards the massive reptile lurking just beneath the water's surface. The tension is palpable as we can almost feel our hearts racing alongside these courageous individuals. Their determination to capture such a formidable beast showcases their deep connection with both land and wildlife. This image serves as a testament to their resourcefulness and harmonious coexistence with nature. Through this artwork, we are transported to a world far removed from our own - where survival depends on ancient knowledge passed down through generations. It reminds us of the rich cultural heritage that exists within indigenous communities across the globe. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print, let us appreciate not only its artistic beauty but also reflect upon our responsibility to protect these precious ecosystems for future generations.
