EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the year 1575, when whaling was a thriving industry. The image depicts a scene from Andre Thevet's "Cosmographie universelle" showcasing the jointing of a massive whale. In this engraving, we witness the intense process of cutting and hunting as skilled whalers work together to capture their prey. Anchored by a sturdy ship, they navigate the treacherous sea in pursuit of these majestic creatures. The sheer size of the whale is awe-inspiring, resembling an ancient monster emerging from the depths. The bustling activity on board reveals that this trade was not only about capturing whales but also involved various vendors and traders who sought to profit from these magnificent mammals. Barrels and casks are scattered around, ready to store valuable resources extracted from the captured beast. The coastal setting adds another layer of intrigue to this scene. With its rugged beauty and crashing waves, it serves as a reminder of both danger and opportunity for those brave enough to venture into uncharted waters. This remarkable print offers us a glimpse into an era long gone but still fascinating today. It captures not only the raw power of nature but also human ingenuity in harnessing its resources for survival and commerce.
