EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Captain James Cook's third voyage from 1776 to 1779, as depicted in Jules Verne's "The Great Mariners of the 18th century". The illustration showcases the dramatic entrance of Prince William (now known as Prince William Sound) in Alaska. Painted by an unknown artist in the 19th century, this engraving beautifully portrays the boat sailing through a breathtaking landscape. The image transports us back to a time when French and British explorers embarked on daring journeys across uncharted territories. The mountainous terrain of Alaska looms majestically behind the vessel, emphasizing both its grandeur and treacherous nature. As we gaze upon this scene, we can almost feel the excitement and anticipation that must have filled Cook's crew as they ventured into new frontiers. This artwork is part of a larger collection that chronicles significant voyages throughout history. It serves as a testament to mankind's insatiable thirst for exploration and discovery. Through these illustrations, we are reminded of our ancestors' bravery and their relentless pursuit of knowledge. Stefano Bianchetti has skillfully captured every detail with his masterful engraving technique. The black-and-white composition adds an air of nostalgia to this historical moment frozen in time. As we admire this remarkable piece, let us reflect on how far humanity has come since those intrepid days while also appreciating the beauty and vastness that still exist within our world today.
