Seal-Hunting, Newfoundland, 1916
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that takes us back to the early 20th century in North America. The artist behind this remarkable illustration is C. G. Lowther, whose attention to detail and skillful brushstrokes bring this scene to life. Set against the backdrop of the rugged Newfoundland coastline, we witness a group of hunters engaged in the age-old tradition of seal-hunting. Clad in heavy coats and braving the icy waters, these brave men navigate their small boats with determination and precision. The vibrant color palette used by Lowther adds depth and intensity to each stroke, capturing both the beauty and harshness of this perilous endeavor. Intriguingly, amidst this action-packed scene are background figures observing from afar – perhaps locals or curious onlookers fascinated by this dangerous yet necessary practice for survival. This inclusion provides insight into not only the historical context but also highlights the connection between humans and nature during that era. This particular artwork was featured in "America in Pictures" a publication by H. Clive Barnard that aimed to showcase various aspects of American life at that time. It serves as a testament to how art can be used as a medium for documenting history while evoking emotions within its viewers. The Seal-Hunting print transports us back to an era when man's relationship with nature was intertwined with survival instincts and resourcefulness. It reminds us of our past while encouraging reflection on our present-day attitudes towards wildlife conservation
