The Arrival of the Dead Dolphins - A Haunting Image of Tradition and Loss
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we are transported back to a time when tradition and nature intertwined on Torrents Island. The engraving by Myrbach-Rheinfeld, titled "The Arrival of the Dead Dolphins at Mr. Ostroms house" offers a glimpse into an extraordinary event that unfolded in 1887. The image depicts a somber scene as Danish fishmongers carry lifeless dolphins towards Mr. Ostrom's house. This haunting sight serves as a stark reminder of the delicate balance between man and nature, where sometimes even majestic creatures meet their untimely demise. The story behind this engraving is one of both curiosity and sorrow. It was created to illustrate H. Labonne's account in "Un mois dans l'archipelago des Faeroer (Feroe)" published in Le Tour du Monde magazine under Edouard Charton's direction. The narrative explores life on the Faroe Islands, delving into their unique traditions and way of life. As we gaze upon this black-and-white masterpiece, we cannot help but feel drawn into the solemnity surrounding these deceased dolphins. Their arrival signifies not only loss but also respect for these magnificent animals who once roamed freely through Denmark's waters. This print captures a moment frozen in time—a testament to human fascination with nature's wonders and our eternal quest for understanding our place within it all.
