EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Kean Collection takes us back to the early 19th century, offering a glimpse into the perilous world of Greenland's whale fishery. The scene showcases an engraving depicting a dramatic moment off the coast of Greenland, circa 1800. In this intricate artwork, we witness a whale fishing boat surrounded by smaller vessels manned by courageous men armed with harpoons. The crew on board their nautical vessel is aided in their pursuit by fellow sailors from a larger ship nearby. As these skilled hunters engage in their dangerous task at sea, our attention is also drawn to another group of men on land in the foreground. These individuals are engaged in wolf hunting, showcasing yet another facet of life during that era. With guns raised and focused gazes, they take aim at these formidable predators roaming along the shorelines. This juxtaposition between two distinct forms of hunting - one at sea and one on land - offers a fascinating insight into both man's relationship with nature and his reliance on it for survival. The detailed engravings transport us back to an era when maritime industries such as whaling played a vital role in shaping economies and communities across North America. Through this evocative print, we are reminded not only of the bravery required to venture out onto treacherous waters but also of humanity's complex interaction with wildlife during times gone by.
