EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - The Bering Sea Arbitration. Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, this image is now part of a private collection. The photograph was originally published as an illustration for The Illustrated London News on June 24,1893. The picture showcases the polar regions and Aleutian Islands, with its rugged topography serving as a dramatic backdrop. In the foreground, we see hunters engaged in seal hunting near a native village on the Island of St. Paul. This scene highlights the controversial issue at hand during the Bering Sea Arbitration - the killing of fur seals. The composition skillfully captures both action and stillness; it conveys both the urgency of hunting and the tranquility of Illalook Harbour where this photograph was taken. It serves as a visual testimony to one aspect that led to this historic arbitration process. Through photography, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how life unfolded during this pivotal moment in history. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece which not only documents an important event but also showcases their dedication to preserving historical photographs for future generations.
