EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, we are transported back in time to 19th century Florida. The author, on an adventurous excursion around Jacksonville, finds himself unexpectedly face-to-face with a domestic bear in the heart of the forest. This intriguing engraving was created by an unknown artist and published in "Le tour du monde" in 1870-1871. The image captures the sheer surprise and astonishment on the author's face as he encounters this unexpected companion. The bear is depicted wearing a chain, suggesting that it may have been tamed or kept as a pet by someone nearby. It adds an element of curiosity to the scene, leaving us wondering about the circumstances that led to this encounter. The fine details of this engraving bring life to both the human subject and his furry counterpart. We can almost feel their shared moment of shock frozen in time. As we gaze at this historical artwork, we are reminded of the diverse wildlife found within North America's forests and how encounters like these were once part of everyday life for explorers venturing into uncharted territories. This print from Leonard de Selva's collection offers us a glimpse into a different era - one filled with adventure, surprises, and untamed beauty. It serves as a reminder that even amidst our modern world, there is still much wonder left to discover in nature's embrace.
