EDITORS COMMENTS
In this gripping 19th-century print captured by Ken Welsh, we witness a heart-wrenching scene unfolding in an African village. The image portrays the raw and untamed power of nature as a crocodile launches a sudden attack on an unsuspecting child. With jaws wide open, the fearsome creature snatches the innocent victim from their peaceful surroundings, leaving the villagers paralyzed with shock and horror. The photograph serves as a stark reminder of the harsh realities faced by communities living in close proximity to wildlife-rich areas. It encapsulates both the beauty and danger that coexist within these landscapes, where humans must constantly navigate their lives amidst potential threats. As we gaze upon this historical print, our hearts ache for the child's family and friends who witnessed this tragic event unfold before their eyes. We are left pondering how such incidents shape local folklore and traditions, serving as cautionary tales passed down through generations. Ken Welsh's skillful capture transports us back in time to experience firsthand one fleeting moment frozen forever in history. Through his lens, we are reminded of our own vulnerability when confronted with nature's immense power - a humbling realization that demands respect for both its magnificence and inherent dangers. This poignant image prompts us to reflect on humanity's delicate relationship with wildlife while highlighting the resilience of those who continue to live harmoniously alongside it – forever etched into memory through Ken Welsh's evocative photography.
