EDITORS COMMENTS
In this dramatic steel engraving from 1839, we see a terrifying scene unfolding off the coast of Angola. A massive Kraken or giant cuttlefish, likely a species of Architeuthis squid, is attacking a small fishing boat with its tentacles reaching out menacingly towards the crew. The artist has captured the chaos and fear of this encounter in stunning detail.
The inspiration for this print comes from Pierre Denys de Montfort's Natural History of the Mollusca, where he describes these legendary sea creatures with awe and trepidation. The sheer size and power of the Kraken are evident as it looms over the helpless boat, ready to drag it down into the depths below.
As we gaze upon this artwork, we can almost hear the shouts of panic from the sailors as they struggle to defend themselves against such a formidable foe. The skillful hand of W.H. Lizars brings this harrowing moment to life, while James Stewart's original illustration adds depth and realism to the scene.
This print serves as a reminder of nature's awesome power and unpredictability, as well as our own vulnerability in the face of such primal forces. It is a testament to both human ingenuity and our enduring fascination with creatures that dwell in the mysterious depths of our oceans.
