EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "A Shoal of Sperm Whale" takes us back to the year 1838 when it was first published. Engraved by J. Hill and measuring 45.7x60.7 cm, this colour aquatint showcases the incredible artistry of Thomas Birch (1779-1851). The Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Massachusetts proudly displays this masterpiece as part of their collection. The image transports us to the vastness of the Pacific Ocean, where a magnificent shoal of sperm whales gracefully swims through the deep blue waters. The scene is both awe-inspiring and humbling, reminding us of nature's grandeur. Intriguingly inscribed by Cornelius Hulsert, this artwork captures an important aspect of American history - whaling. It offers a glimpse into a time when ships ventured out to sea for harpooning these majestic creatures. As we admire this engraving, our eyes are drawn to the rugged coastline in the background - perhaps representing Hawaii or another Pacific island. The juxtaposition between land and sea adds depth and context to the composition. With meticulous detail and skillful technique, Birch brings these whales to life on paper. Each stroke captures their power and grace as they navigate through their natural habitat. This remarkable piece invites us into a world that existed centuries ago – one filled with adventure on treacherous seas and encounters with extraordinary marine life. It serves as a testament not only to Birch's talent but
