EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 17th century, showcasing an early design for a wooden submarine. Invented around 1650, this innovative vessel relied on a unique mechanism for surfacing and submerging. Rows of goatskin airbags were strategically attached to the floor of the submarine, allowing it to rise or descend as they were inflated or deflated. The intricate blueprint displayed in this image reveals the meticulous planning that went into creating such a groundbreaking invention. The craftsmanship involved in constructing this wooden marvel is evident, with every detail carefully thought out. Although primitive by today's standards, this early submarine represents humanity's relentless pursuit of exploration and discovery even centuries ago. It serves as a testament to our innate curiosity about what lies beneath the surface of vast oceans. As we gaze upon this photograph captured by Henry Guttmann, we can't help but imagine the excitement and trepidation felt by those who dared venture into uncharted waters within these wooden walls. This solitary vessel was designed to accommodate only one person at a time - an intrepid explorer ready to embark on daring underwater expeditions. Let us appreciate Guttmann's artistry in preserving historical moments like these through his lens. This remarkable image reminds us of how far we have come technologically while honoring those ingenious minds who paved the way for modern submarines that now roam our seas with ease and efficiency.
