EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Three Indians emerged from the wood" by French School in the 19th century transports us to a moment of exploration and discovery. The image, part of a private collection, was originally created as an illustration for Jules Verne's book "The Great Navigators of the Eighteenth Century" published in 1880. In this scene, we witness three indigenous individuals emerging from a dense forest. Their presence evokes a sense of mystery and curiosity about their culture and way of life. As navigators themselves, they symbolize the spirit of adventure that characterized explorers during this era. The artwork also pays homage to Captain James Cook, one of history's most renowned explorers. It is believed that these Indians were encountered during Cook's voyages through New Guinea. The use of firwood depicted in the engraving highlights not only its practical value as timber but also its significance as firewood or kindling for survival in unfamiliar territories. Through this print, we are reminded of the importance placed on geographical knowledge and navigation during times when much of the world remained uncharted. It serves as a visual testament to humanity's relentless pursuit to uncover new lands and cultures. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from Fine Art Finder's collection, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic merit and historical context today.
