EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A Cruise in the Lancashire Witch, III, Formosa Bay" takes us back to a bygone era of exploration and adventure. The engraving, created by Alfred W. Cooper in the late 19th century, captures a scene filled with intrigue and cultural diversity. In this image, we witness an unwelcome encounter between an Arab soldier and the Lancashire Witch crew. The ship's visitors find themselves amidst a tribe of natives on the shores of Formosa Bay in Taiwan. The contrasting expressions on their faces reflect both curiosity and caution as they navigate this unfamiliar territory. The focal point of the picture is undoubtedly the tribal hunting expedition taking place nearby. Zebras gallop alongside cattle while skilled hunters armed with bows and arrows track their prey through lush landscapes. This juxtaposition between modernity represented by the cruise ship and traditional tribal customs creates a fascinating visual narrative. As our eyes wander across the print, we notice various elements that add depth to its composition - from campfires illuminating distant tents to figures like Fundi (a local guide), Shikari (an experienced hunter), Gallas (Ethiopian tribesmen), and even Dr Kirke himself. This print not only offers us a glimpse into past adventures but also serves as a pleasing reflection on how different cultures coexisted during times of exploration. It reminds us that every corner of our world holds stories waiting to be discovered – tales that bridge gaps between civilizations while celebrating their unique identities.
