EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "South Sea whalers boiling blubber, with whale alongside" takes us back to the late 19th century when whaling was a prominent industry in the Pacific. Captured by Oswald Walters Brierly between 1875 and 1885, this image offers a rare glimpse into the arduous process of extracting valuable resources from these magnificent creatures. The scene unfolds on a ship surrounded by vast oceanic expanse. Thick plumes of smoke rise into the air as skilled whalers diligently tend to their task. The focal point is undoubtedly the massive whale lying alongside the vessel, its colossal body serving as both an awe-inspiring sight and a reminder of human exploitation. The reflection of fire dances upon the water's surface, casting an ethereal glow that contrasts with the somber nature of this scene. It symbolizes both man's triumph over nature and his relentless pursuit for profit at any cost. Bridgeman Images has expertly preserved this historical moment through their careful reproduction of Brierly's original work. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand one aspect of our complex relationship with nature - where beauty clashes with brutality and survival intertwines with greed. Displayed within Dixson Galleries at State Library New South Wales' Mitchell Library, this artwork serves as a poignant reminder not only of our past but also prompts us to reflect on our present actions towards marine conservation.
