EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Whale stranded in Noordwijk, The Netherlands 1629" we are transported back to a significant moment in history. Captured by an anonymous photographer in January 4th, 1629, the image depicts a scene of both awe and sadness. The massive sperm whale lies lifeless on the shore of Noordwijk, its majestic head resting against the sand. Men can be seen diligently working around it, cutting it into pieces for reasons unknown. Spectators gather from afar, their faces filled with curiosity and perhaps a hint of sorrow. As our eyes wander beyond the immediate surroundings, we notice riders on horseback dotting the distant dunes and cars passing by - reminders that time has moved forward since this tragic event unfolded over four centuries ago. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of nature's power and vulnerability. It captures not only an animal's death but also sparks contemplation about our relationship with these magnificent creatures. The Dutch verse accompanying this print adds another layer of mystery to its origins. Quint Lox's inclusion as the photographer suggests his role in preserving this historical artifact for future generations to reflect upon. Through Quint Lox's lens and Liszt Collection's curation, we are granted access to a frozen moment in time that invites us to ponder our place within the natural world.
