EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported to the world of Samuel Taylor Coleridge's epic poem, "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner". The image showcases two ethereal spirits of the South Pole, their expressions filled with curiosity and wonder. As they gaze upon a ship named XJF393849 sailing swiftly through calm waters without any assistance from wind or sea, they find themselves pondering a profound question. Their eyes seem to search for answers as they ask why this vessel defies the natural forces that govern its surroundings. Gustave Dore's masterful wood engraving brings to life Coleridge's haunting words and transports us into a realm where supernatural occurrences intertwine with human experiences.
