A Catastrophe Avoided - The Uncanny Instinct of a Faithful Companion
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this colour litho print by French School, we witness a heart-stopping moment on the high seas. The scene is set off the coast of New England, where a steamer battles through treacherous fog. Amidst the eerie mist, a Newfoundland dog stands tall on the ship's deck, barking relentlessly. Thanks to this vigilant canine and its remarkable sixth sense, disaster has been narrowly averted. Concerned by the persistent barks, the ship's captain swiftly orders his vessel to slow down. Moments later, emerging from the dense fog are numerous fishing boats that would have surely collided with their speeding path. This illustration for Le Petit Journal captures not only an extraordinary event but also celebrates the intelligence and loyalty of our four-legged friends. The uncanny ability of animals to perceive danger before humans is showcased in this dramatic image. The atmosphere created by the foggy backdrop adds an air of suspense as we witness how nature can conspire against us at sea. It reminds us that even amidst modern technology and navigation systems, there is still room for instinct and intuition. As we gaze upon this stunning piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, let us be reminded of both man's reliance on animal companionship and their incredible capacity to protect us when least expected.
