EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Whale fishing: the depecement, 19th century" takes us back in time to witness a remarkable scene from the past. The unknown artist skillfully captures the intense moment of whale hunting during the 19th century. In this image, we see a group of determined men aboard a sturdy boat, braving the treacherous waters in pursuit of their prey. Their faces reflect both excitement and apprehension as they prepare for what lies ahead. The engraving showcases intricate details, emphasizing every line and curve of their weathered bodies. The sheer size and power of the majestic whale is evident as it breaches out of the water, its massive tail creating an awe-inspiring spectacle. This snapshot freezes time, allowing us to appreciate not only the bravery but also acknowledge the controversial nature surrounding whaling practices during that era. As we examine this artwork closely, it becomes apparent that there are deeper themes at play here - man's relentless pursuit for resources juxtaposed with our impact on nature's delicate balance. It serves as a reminder that actions have consequences; even though these men may be seen as poachers or sinners by some, they were driven by necessity or livelihood. Leonard de Selva expertly captures this historical moment through his lens, preserving it for generations to come. This photograph invites contemplation about our relationship with marine life and prompts us to reflect on how far we have come since those days when hunting whales was considered commonplace.
