EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Dundee Screw Whalers" takes us back to the maritime world of the 19th century. Created by Edwin Weedon in 1861, this print showcases the bustling whaling industry in Dundee, Scotland. The scene is filled with ships and adventure as they navigate through icy waters. The artist's attention to detail transports us into this historical moment. We can almost feel the chill in the air and hear the creaking of wooden hulls against frozen waves. The narwhal, a majestic creature known for its long tusk, adds an element of intrigue to the composition. As we gaze at this artwork, we are reminded of the bravery and skill required by these seafarers who risked their lives on treacherous voyages in search of whales. The Dundee Screw Whalers were renowned for their innovative screw propulsion system that allowed them to maneuver through ice-filled polynyas with relative ease. This print serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and our complex relationship with nature. It captures a pivotal moment in history when industrialization began reshaping traditional industries like whaling. Displayed proudly within private collections today, this engraving continues to inspire awe and curiosity about our past exploits on the high seas. It stands as a tribute not only to those involved but also as a reminder of how far we have come since then.
