EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 19th-century engraving by Yan Dargent, we are transported to a thrilling fishing scene on the open sea. The image depicts a daring man gripping onto the fins of a majestic whale as it gracefully swims on the surface of the water. Whether it is a dolphin or an orca, known as an epaulard, remains uncertain, but its sheer size and power are undeniable. The artist skillfully captures the intensity and danger of this moment. The man's expression reveals both exhilaration and trepidation as he rides atop this magnificent creature. It is clear that he is not just any fisherman; he possesses remarkable courage and strength to attempt such an audacious feat. This engraving also raises questions about our relationship with nature. Is this man merely hunting for survival or engaging in reckless poaching? The presence of other boats suggests that this may be a common practice during that time period. However, regardless of his intentions, there is no denying the awe-inspiring beauty of these wild animals in their natural habitat. Yan Dargent's attention to detail brings every element of this scene to life - from the texture of the waves crashing against the boat to each individual ripple on the whale's skin. This print serves as a reminder of humanity's complex connection with wildlife and invites us to ponder our role in preserving these incredible creatures for future generations.
