EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring sight of an 18-foot giant octopus (or squid) in the vast ocean, forty leagues away from Tenerife, Spain. The photograph is a reproduction of an engraving that originally appeared in "Le tour du monde, nouveau journal des voyages" in 1866. The image showcases the remarkable encounter experienced by the crew of the Alecton, a steamboat commanded by the narrator. As they embarked on their voyage to French Guiana in 1862-1863, this colossal creature emerged from the depths of the sea, leaving everyone onboard astounded. The intricate details captured in this engraving highlight both its artistic value and scientific significance. It serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with marine life and our desire to explore unknown territories. Published under Edouard Charton's direction, this engraving immortalizes Frederic Bouyer's account of his extraordinary journey. The Selva Collection has preserved this piece as part of its historical archives. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image today, we are transported back to a time when exploration was filled with wonder and mystery. This print allows us to appreciate not only nature's incredible creations but also humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge about our world.
