EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a rare and extraordinary moment in history - the transporting of a captured whale through the streets of Marseille on a trolley. The scene is both fascinating and unsettling, as we see the massive marine creature being carefully moved through the bustling city streets. The whale was reportedly caught in the waters near Chateau d'If, adding an air of mystery and intrigue to this already remarkable image.
The year is 1870, and this snapshot offers us a glimpse into a time when such sights were not uncommon. Whales were often hunted for their valuable resources, making them prized possessions for those who managed to capture them alive. In this case, it seems that the people of Marseille succeeded in their quest to secure one of these majestic creatures.
As we study this photograph further, we can't help but feel a mix of emotions - awe at the sheer size and power of the whale, curiosity about its journey from sea to land, and perhaps even empathy for its plight. This image serves as a reminder of our complex relationship with nature and how it has evolved over time.
Intriguing, thought-provoking, and undeniably historical, "Whale Caught / Marseille" is more than just a picture - it's a window into another world that once existed right here on Earth.
