EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored woodcut print takes us back to the 19th century, immersing us in a thrilling maritime adventure. The scene depicts a whaling schooner sailing through the vast Atlantic Ocean, its crew eagerly scanning the horizon for any sign of their elusive prey. As if on cue, one of the lookouts excitedly shouts, "There she blows!". A majestic whale breaches the surface nearby, creating an awe-inspiring spectacle. The image transports us to a bygone era when whaling was a vital part of American heritage and commercial fishing industry. It showcases the bravery and skill of sailors who embarked on perilous voyages across treacherous waters in search of these magnificent creatures. The ship itself is reminiscent of traditional vessels used during that time period - sturdy and weathered from countless journeys. Amidst this historical backdrop, we catch sight of a sea gull soaring above as if guiding the way for this intrepid crew. Its presence adds an element of natural beauty to this otherwise rugged scene. This artwork serves as both a testament to our rich maritime history and an invitation to explore our past with curiosity and appreciation. It reminds us that there is much we can learn from those who came before us while also igniting our sense of wonder for the wonders that lie beyond our shores.
