EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historical woodcut from J. van der Brugges Journal, dating back to 1634. Published in the renowned British Polar Explorers collection of 1943, this illustration offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of whaling during the seventeenth century. The image transports us to the Arctic regions, where brave sailors embarked on perilous journeys aboard magnificent sailing ships. With their harpoons at the ready, these intrepid hunters set out to capture and kill majestic whales that roamed the vast ocean. This archival piece not only captures a significant moment in history but also sheds light on an industry that shaped entire communities and economies. Whaling was not merely a job; it was an entire way of life for those involved. As we gaze upon this evocative print, we are reminded of both the beauty and brutality inherent in whaling. It serves as a poignant reminder of our complex relationship with nature throughout history. Let this remarkable artwork transport you back in time, offering insight into an era when man's quest for resources drove them to explore even the most treacherous corners of our planet's oceans.
