EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "WHALING: TRYING OUT, 1874" takes us back to a significant era in American maritime history. The image showcases the intense process of reducing whale blubber to oil on a whaling ship's deck. Intriguingly, we see try-works or boilers set in brick, emitting plumes of steam as they transform the harvested blubber into valuable oil. This methodical procedure is known as trying out and was crucial for the success of whaling expeditions during this time. The wood engraving beautifully captures the essence of life aboard a whaler. Men can be seen diligently working amidst an ocean backdrop, their faces etched with determination and resilience. They are skilled workers engaged in cooking and extracting every ounce of precious oil from the whale blubber. This image not only provides insight into the laborious nature of whaling but also serves as a testament to America's rich maritime heritage. It reminds us of an era when these brave men ventured far into treacherous waters in pursuit of whales, driven by both economic necessity and adventure. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot frozen in time, it evokes feelings of admiration for those who played vital roles within this industry. Their tireless efforts contributed to shaping America's growth while simultaneously highlighting our complex relationship with nature. Granger Art on Demand has once again offered us an intriguing glimpse into our past through this remarkable piece that encapsulates both beauty and hardship within its frame.
