EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "They were pursued so closely" takes us back to the 18th century, a time of great navigators and explorers. The image, created by an unknown French School artist in the 19th century, depicts a moment of intense pursuit during a voyage of discovery. The scene is filled with tension as we witness Captain James Cook and his crew being relentlessly pursued through uncharted waters. The details are meticulously captured, showcasing the determination and bravery of these early explorers. Their ship battles against crashing waves while dark clouds loom overhead, adding to the sense of urgency. This print was originally commissioned as an illustration for Jules Verne's book "The Great Navigators of the Eighteenth Century" published in 1880. It serves as a visual representation of Verne's tales about courageous individuals who ventured into unknown territories in search of new lands and knowledge. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of the immense challenges faced by those who dared to explore uncharted territories. It speaks to our innate human curiosity and desire for geographical discovery. This engraving not only captures a historical moment but also invites us to reflect on our own thirst for exploration and navigation in both physical and metaphorical realms. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from their private collection, allowing us to appreciate its beauty and significance today.
