WHALING - BLUBBER REMOVAL - A Glimpse into the Perilous World of 16th Century Whaling
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This woodcut print from the 16th century offers a fascinating glimpse into the dangerous and arduous process of whaling. The scene depicts a group of brave European men engaged in the laborious task of cutting blubber from a massive whale, all while being accompanied by the haunting melodies of bagpipes. The image showcases an exterior setting, with a rowboat filled with determined workers navigating choppy waters as they approach their colossal prey. Anchored nearby is their sturdy vessel, equipped with barrels to store the precious blubber harvested from these magnificent creatures. In this perilous undertaking, we see men skillfully wielding axes and oars as they work together to extract valuable blubber that will be used for various purposes. Amidst this grueling labor, one man stands out—a piper playing his bagpipes on board, perhaps providing some solace or motivation to those engaged in this treacherous hunt. This woodcut print not only captures the physicality and danger inherent in whaling but also highlights Europe's maritime heritage during this era. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and resilience when faced with nature's mightiest creatures. As we gaze upon this historic artwork, let us reflect on our evolving relationship with marine life and appreciate how far we have come since these early days of whaling.
