EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A transatlantic liner bearing down on fishing boats in the fog" captures a dramatic moment at sea. The image, a colour lithograph by French School from the 20th century, showcases the perilous encounter between a massive transatlantic liner and several small fishing boats amidst thick fog. The scene is filled with tension as the towering ship looms over the unsuspecting fishermen who are rowing their boats. The fog adds an eerie atmosphere, making it difficult for both parties to see each other clearly. It's a race against time as the fishermen try to escape while the transatlantic liner unknowingly approaches them. The artwork was originally created as an illustration for Le Petit Journal on December 29,1907, under the series "Les drames de la mer" (Dramas of the Sea). It serves as a reminder of the dangers faced by those who make their living at sea and highlights how unpredictable weather conditions can lead to potentially catastrophic collisions. This evocative piece not only showcases French culture but also emphasizes themes of danger, escape, and survival. Through its vivid depiction of this intense maritime situation, it invites viewers to reflect on humanity's relationship with nature and our constant struggle against unforeseen circumstances.
