EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "MAKAH WHALING, c1910" takes us back in time to witness a significant moment in history. The image showcases Makah whalers engaged in the arduous task of cutting into a massive humpback whale at Neah Bay, Washington State. Photographed by Curtis Asahel around 1910-11, this snapshot captures the early days of the American whaling industry on the Pacific Northwest coast. The scene is filled with raw energy as men clad in traditional Native American clothing work together to harvest resources from the sea. The composition transports us to a secluded beach where waves crash against the shore while seagulls circle overhead. It serves as a poignant reminder of how closely intertwined humans were with nature during that era. Intriguingly, this photograph not only documents an important aspect of Native American culture but also sheds light on America's turn-of-the-century marine industry. It symbolizes both man's reliance on natural resources for survival and his ability to adapt and thrive within his environment. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history captured through Asahel's lens, we are reminded of our responsibility to preserve and respect our planet's delicate ecosystems. This print serves as a powerful testament to human ingenuity and resourcefulness while urging us towards sustainable practices for future generations.
