EDITORS COMMENTS
. This coloured engraving, created by an anonymous German artist in the 19th century, offers a powerful visual narrative on the hazards faced by whalers. Hailing from a private collection and originally featured in Friedrich Justin Bertuch's renowned "Picture Book for Children" (1790-1830), this print titled "Die Gefahren des Walfischfanges" sheds light on the treacherous nature of hunting these majestic creatures. The artwork vividly portrays a dramatic scene at sea, where brave sailors embark on their perilous expedition to capture whales. The immense size and strength of these marine mammals are emphasized as they tower over tiny fishing boats. The tension is palpable as harpoons pierce through the water, aiming to subdue these formidable giants.

It prompts contemplation about our relationship with wildlife and raises awareness about conservation efforts necessary to protect such awe-inspiring species. As we gaze upon this historic image, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the bravery required for whale hunting while also acknowledging its inherent dangers. This print stands not only as an artistic masterpiece but also as a testament to humanity's complex interaction with nature – one that compels us to reflect upon our responsibility towards preserving Earth's delicate balance between man and
