EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour litho print titled "A swimming champion attacked by a sea monster" depicts an extraordinary moment in history. The artwork, created by the French School in the 20th century, showcases Hawaiian Duke Kahanamoku, a renowned Olympic gold medallist from 1912. While training off the coast of Honolulu, Kahanamoku found himself engaged in a fierce battle with a colossal eel. The image captures the intensity and danger of this underwater struggle as Kahanamoku valiantly fights to defend himself against this monstrous creature. With its vibrant colors and intricate detailing, the artwork brings to life this thrilling encounter between man and beast. Published in Le Petit Journal on February 16th, 1913, this illustration provides a glimpse into one of nature's most awe-inspiring spectacles. It serves as a testament to both Kahanamoku's bravery and his exceptional swimming skills that enabled him to survive such an attack. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded of the unpredictable power that resides beneath our oceans. This print not only celebrates Kahanamoku's resilience but also highlights the beauty and ferocity of marine wildlife. Through this artwork, we witness an epic clash between two worlds – that of humans and creatures inhabiting our vast seas. It is a reminder that even champions face unexpected challenges but can emerge victorious through determination and skill.
