EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the mid-1800s, we are transported into the depths of the ocean where myth and mystery collide. The intricate engraving by Brevieres, based on an illustration by French artist J. J. Grandville, showcases a fearsome sea creature known as "The Dragon". With its long tentacle tail and menacingly large mouth, this monstrous being chases a group of smaller creatures across the ocean floor. The imagery adds to the eerie atmosphere surrounding this bizarre encounter. As we gaze at this archival piece, we can almost feel the terror radiating from the terrified creatures desperately trying to escape their pursuer. The skillful illustration technique employed by Grandville brings these mythical beings to life in stunning detail. This print not only captures our imagination but also offers a glimpse into French culture during that time period. It is a testament to the boundless creativity of artists like Jean Ignace Isidore Gerard (also known as J. J. Grandville) who dared to explore fantastical realms through their work. Whether you're drawn to animal themes or simply fascinated by tales of monsters lurking beneath the waves, this print is sure to spark your curiosity and ignite your sense of wonderment.
