EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1807 showcases a remarkable moment in natural history: a Great White Shark, known scientifically as Carcharodon carcharias, suspended from a line on the stern of a frigate. The artist behind this aquatint is William Daniell (1769-1837), who expertly captured the awe-inspiring presence of this majestic creature. The image portrays the immense size and power of the Great White Shark, with its sleek body hanging gracefully against the backdrop of an expansive seascape. The detail and precision in Daniell's engraving highlight his dedication to scientific accuracy and his passion for capturing nature's wonders. This print is part of William Wood's Zoography collection, published by Cadell and Davies in 1807. It serves as both an artistic representation and a valuable scientific record. Through this work, viewers are transported into the world of early nineteenth-century exploration and discovery. The significance of this piece extends beyond its aesthetic appeal; it symbolizes mankind's fascination with wildlife and our ongoing quest to understand these magnificent creatures that inhabit our oceans. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded of the importance of preserving our planet's biodiversity for future generations. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical artwork within their private collection, allowing us to appreciate not only its beauty but also its contribution to scientific knowledge during that era.
