EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating wood engraving that takes us into the imaginative world of a taxidermist's after-dinner dream. Created in late 19th century America, this animated artwork showcases an intriguing mix of elements that both fascinate and intrigue. In the center of the composition stands a man, surrounded by his taxidermy shop filled with lifeless creatures meticulously preserved. His face reveals a sense of wonder as he witnesses an extraordinary scene unfolding before him. A cello-playing cellist serenades an audience consisting of an eclectic group - a monkey, an owl perched on its shoulder, and even a skeleton dog attentively listening to the enchanting melody. The artist skillfully captures the essence of this surreal dream-like atmosphere through intricate details and delicate lines. Each character seems to possess their own story within this whimsical realm where reality intertwines with imagination. This print not only showcases the artistry involved in taxidermy but also invites viewers to question our relationship with nature and mortality. It prompts us to contemplate how we preserve life even after death, blurring boundaries between what is real and what is artificial. As we gaze upon "Taxidermists Dream" we are transported into a realm where creativity knows no bounds – where animals come back to life through skilled hands and dreams take flight amidst forgotten corners of curiosity-filled workshops.
