The scene depicts the courageous efforts to save Pet from perilous waters. The image was originally published as an illustration for "The Pictorial Press its Origins and Progress" by Mason Jackson in 1885. This digitally cleaned version allows us to appreciate the intricate details and emotions conveyed through this woodcut. 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.
