EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century engraving titled "Les Phoques de la Floride" transports us to the picturesque countryside of rural Florida. The print, created by an anonymous French School artist, showcases a scene from the renowned publication La Chasse Illustree (Firmin Didot, 1871-72). The artwork is part of a private collection and has been expertly preserved. The image captures a serene rural landscape with lush green pastures stretching as far as the eye can see. In this idyllic setting, we witness a hunting expedition taking place. State hunting was popular during this era, and bloodsports were considered both thrilling and prestigious. The artist skillfully depicts seals in their natural habitat, showcasing their grace and beauty. These magnificent animals add an element of wildlife to the otherwise tranquil scene. It serves as a reminder of the diverse fauna that inhabits Florida's unique ecosystem. As we delve into this historical piece, it becomes evident that it represents not only France but also its overseas departments and territories within the European Union. This connection highlights Europe's influence on art during this period. Bridgeman Images has ensured that this remarkable engraving remains accessible for admirers worldwide through Fine Art Finder. Its inclusion in private collections allows us to appreciate the rich tapestry of history while celebrating nature's wonders captured on paper centuries ago.
