EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Great Shoal of Whales, at Stornoway" takes us back to the 19th century when marine life was a source of awe and wonder. The print showcases an English School's artistic prowess in capturing the majestic beauty of these magnificent creatures. Set against the backdrop of Stornoway in Scotland, this artwork transports us to a time when whales roamed freely in vast numbers. The sheer scale of the shoal is breathtaking, as countless whales gracefully glide through the waters. Their powerful tails create ripples on the surface, while their sleek bodies glisten under the sunlight. The level of detail in this engraving is truly remarkable; each whale seems to have its own unique form and posture. It serves as a reminder that despite their immense size, these gentle giants possess an elegance that captivates our imagination. Originally published as an illustration for The Illustrated London News in March 1853, this print offers a glimpse into how people during that era marveled at nature's wonders. It invites us to appreciate not only the artistry behind such engravings but also reminds us of our responsibility towards preserving marine life for future generations. Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder has once again brought forth a treasure from history - a window into both past natural splendor and human creativity.
