Dive into the captivating world of marine wonders, where history and adventure intertwine. In an engraving from "Le petit Journal" dating back to June 16, 1912, witness the thrilling encounter between a scaphandler and a formidable octopus. This private collection piece transports us to an era when the depths held untamed mysteries. Travel further back in time to the 16th century as we explore allegorical representations of pearl fishing during the discovery of the New World. Aquatic nymphs and Indian maidens grace this painting by Jacopo Zucchi, adorned with coral and pearl shells that symbolize nature's bountiful treasures. Delve even deeper into prehistory as we uncover fossils from different epochs. From Permian period branchiosaurus fossils to Paleozoic trilobite Olenellus specimens, these ancient remnants offer glimpses into life before our time. Embark on daring expeditions across continents as German explorers seek Egyptian treasures donning specialized suits designed for underwater exploration. Meanwhile, in the vast Pacific Ocean, a Japanese diver meets a tragic fate at the jaws of a ravenous shark—a reminder of both beauty and danger lurking beneath the waves. Journey to Ceylon (present-day Sri Lanka) in the 19th century where pearl poachers risked their lives for precious gems hidden within oyster shells. The allure of wealth drove them deep into treacherous waters. Step inside Paris' acclimatization garden aquarium circa 1863—a mesmerizing spectacle showcasing diverse marine life that captivated visitors with its enchanting displays. Roman art immortalizes fishermen braving tumultuous seas aboard their boats—an ode to resilience against nature's unpredictable forces. Sailors resorting to throwing barrels overboard in hopes of distracting pursuing monsters epitomize humanity's resourcefulness amidst adversity. In yet another allegorical representation celebrating New World discoveries lies coral fishing—another testament to the allure of uncharted territories and the treasures they hold.
