EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the chilling moment when a large and frightening Irish sea serpent was spotted off the coast of Kilkee, Ireland in 1871. The Victorian era was filled with tales of mythical creatures, but this sighting sent shockwaves through the community as several people witnessed the monstrous beast emerging from the depths of the sea.
The emotional reactions of both men and women can be seen in their faces - some appear frozen in fear, while others are fainting at the sight before them. The rocky coastline serves as a dramatic backdrop to this terrifying encounter, adding to the horror felt by those who were lucky (or unlucky) enough to witness it.
The folklore surrounding sea serpents has long been a source of fascination and terror for sailors and coastal communities alike. This particular sighting in County Clare, Ireland is sure to go down in history as one of the most memorable encounters with such a creature.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a time when myths and legends still held sway over our imaginations. The sheer size and menacing appearance of this Irish sea serpent remind us that there are mysteries lurking beneath the waves that we may never fully understand.
