EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Eskimos, Bear Hunting, Store Advertising 'aux deux nations', Boulogne" takes us back to the late 19th century. The image showcases an unknown artist's depiction of a unique advertising campaign for a department store in Boulogne. Intriguingly, the advertisement features Eskimos engaged in bear hunting, creating an exotic and adventurous atmosphere within the store. The composition is rich with details that transport viewers to the North Pole as they witness a hunter equipped with a walking stick or cane bravely facing off against a magnificent polar bear. The chromolithography technique used in this print adds depth and vibrancy to the scene, bringing life to both bears and hunters alike. It is fascinating how art can be employed not only for aesthetic purposes but also as an effective marketing tool. Although little information about this artwork is available, it remains an intriguing glimpse into history - capturing both wildlife and human interaction during a time when department stores were beginning to revolutionize retail experiences. This particular photograph was taken by Leonard de Selva, whose skillful eye captured every intricate detail of this mesmerizing piece. Now part of a private collection, it serves as a testament to the artistic talent that flourished during the 19th century while offering us insight into past cultures and commercial practices.
