EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the late 18th century, where we witness a scene of immense power and historical significance. In the vast expanse of the Arctic Ocean, two formidable creatures - a whale and a polar bear - engage in an intense battle for survival. This illustration captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the relentless pursuit of resources during this era. The image showcases not only the raw beauty of nature but also sheds light on an industry that shaped history - whaling. Sailing ships dotting the horizon serve as reminders of human involvement in these perilous waters. These vessels were both tools and symbols of exploration, trade, and exploitation. However, behind this awe-inspiring spectacle lies a darker truth: hunting for profit at any cost. The shooting depicted here represents just one instance among countless others where these magnificent animals fell victim to human greed. The archival quality of this photograph allows us to reflect upon our past actions while reminding us to protect and conserve our fragile ecosystems today. As we gaze upon this historical artifact from Welsh photographer Ken's collection, it serves as both a reminder and warning about humanity's impact on our planet's delicate balance. Let it inspire conversations about conservation efforts and remind us all that history has valuable lessons to teach if we are willing to listen.
