EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous event in maritime history - the capture of the Giant Squid by the Alecton off the coast of Tenerife on 30th November 1861. Engraved by Leblanc & Picart, this colour litho print showcases the sheer enormity and awe-inspiring nature of this sea creature. The image depicts a harpooned giant squid being triumphantly hoisted aboard the ship under the command of Captain Bouyer. The crew members can be seen standing proudly beside their monumental catch, their faces filled with a mix of excitement and astonishment. This rare sight is truly extraordinary, as encounters with these elusive creatures are few and far between. The sheer size and power of this monster from the deep is evident in every detail captured by Rodolphe E. , an artist from the 19th century. Its tentacles stretch outwards, seemingly reaching for freedom even in its final moments. The sailors' efforts to capture such an incredible specimen are commendable, showcasing both their bravery and determination. Displayed at Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, this print transports viewers back to that historic day when man conquered one of nature's most mysterious creations. It serves as a reminder that our world still holds countless wonders waiting to be discovered beneath its vast oceans.
