EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Whale-Fishing" takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing an engraving by French School. The image is a facsimile of a woodcut found in the renowned "Cosmographie Universelle" by Thevet, published in Paris in 1574. It was later featured as an illustration for Paul Lacroix's book on Manners, Customs, and Dress during the Middle Ages. The digitally cleaned image allows us to appreciate the intricate details of this historical artwork. In it, we witness a scene from medieval times where fishermen engage in whale hunting. This industry played a significant role during that era and served as a vital source of oil and other resources. The woodcut depicts several fishermen using various fishing implements while attempting to capture humpback whales, Greenland whales, and other great species that roamed the seas. These magnificent marine mammals were highly valued for their abundance and importance within wildlife ecosystems. As we gaze at this mesmerizing print, we are transported back in time to witness not only the customs and dress of our ancestors but also gain insight into their relationship with nature. It serves as a reminder of how humans have interacted with animals throughout history and highlights both our fascination with these creatures and our impact on their populations. This remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images captures not only an artistic representation but also provides us with glimpses into past industries such as whaling while evoking curiosity about our own place within nature's delicate balance
