Intriguingly, this artwork sheds light on early journalism practices, showcasing how newspapers utilized pictorial representations to engage readers. It serves as a testament to the power of visual storytelling even during that era. Edmund Pet's rescue unfolds before our eyes, reminding us of the bravery exhibited by seafarers throughout history. The composition skillfully combines elements of danger and heroism, capturing our attention and evoking empathy for those who risked their lives at sea.
