EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century colour lithograph, titled "Right Whaling in Behering Straits & Arctic Ocean with its Varieties" takes us back to a time when the Arctic was teeming with life and adventure. The print showcases a scene of bustling activity amidst the icy waters, where whalers embarked on perilous expeditions in search of their prized prey. In this vivid depiction, we witness the formidable presence of massive iceflows that dominate the landscape. These frozen giants serve as both obstacles and opportunities for the intrepid sailors who navigate through them in open boats. The whaling ships stand tall against this backdrop, their masts reaching towards the sky as they anchor near remote islands. The main focus of this artwork is undoubtedly the majestic right whale itself – an animal revered for its valuable blubber and whalebone. We see courageous hunters engaging in their dangerous pursuit, armed with harpoons and determination. Once a kill is made, these skilled seafarers waste no time in rendering blubber from their catch. Amidst all this action, other marine mammals such as walruses also make an appearance, adding to the rich biodiversity of this arctic ecosystem. This print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder of our complex relationship with nature's wonders. Displayed within private collections today, these historical prints continue to transport viewers into a world where man's quest for resources clashed with awe-inspiring wildlife encounters – forever etching themselves into our collective memory
