EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Gamming (whalers relaxing and dancing on deck)", we are transported back to the 19th century, immersing ourselves in the perils and romance of whaling. The image captures a moment of respite for these brave men who have embarked on an arduous journey at sea. On the deck of a majestic ship, we witness a scene filled with joy and camaraderie. Whalers can be seen engaging in various forms of recreation, finding solace from their demanding tasks. Some are engrossed in lively dances, their bodies swaying to the rhythm of music that echoes through the salty air. Others choose to relax, basking in precious moments away from their perilous duties. The engraving by Taber beautifully portrays both the physical strength and resilience of these men as well as their capacity for leisure and enjoyment amidst challenging circumstances. It serves as a testament to human spirit's ability to find solace even in the harshest environments. This artwork was originally featured in Century Magazine's August 1890 edition, offering readers a glimpse into the fascinating world of whaling during that era. Preserved within private collections today, this print allows us to appreciate not only its historical significance but also its artistic merit. Through Bridgeman Images' reproduction, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by those who ventured into uncharted waters while simultaneously celebrating their moments of relaxation and connection aboard these magnificent vessels.
