EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history, showcasing the art of whale fishing during the 19th century. Taken from Bernard Germain de Lacepede's renowned work "Natural History" this plate is an exquisite representation of the era's fascination with marine life and exploration. The image transports us to Paris in 1857, where P. Furme published this edition of Lacepede's masterpiece. The French School artist behind this engraving skillfully depicts a scene filled with action and adventure. A sturdy boat glides through the water, manned by determined fishermen on their quest for these majestic creatures of the sea. The vibrant colors bring life to every detail, allowing us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the danger inherent in such endeavors. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of France's rich history as a seafaring nation and its deep connection to nature. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this piece serves as a valuable resource for naturalists and scientists alike. It provides insight into both zoology and botany, highlighting how different disciplines intersected during that time period. Jaime Abecasis expertly captures all these elements through his lens, preserving a slice of history that continues to captivate viewers today. This print is more than just an artistic creation; it is a testament to human curiosity and our ongoing quest for knowledge about our world's wonders.
