Divers Finding Pirate's Treasure, 1897
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating black and white lithograph that takes us back to the adventurous era of the late 19th century. This intriguing print, created by an Austrian School artist, showcases a scene of scuba divers exploring the depths of the ocean in search of stolen religious artifacts. The image transports us into a world full of mystery and excitement as we witness these brave explorers descending into the unknown. Equipped with diving suits, lamps illuminating their path, and ropes for safety, they navigate through schools of fish and encounter an octopus lurking nearby. Intriguingly, our attention is drawn towards a chest lying on the seabed. It holds promises of hidden treasures waiting to be discovered – perhaps gold coins or precious gems pilfered by notorious pirates from centuries past. The presence of a crucifix among these stolen items hints at their sacred nature. This engraving not only captures the spirit of adventure but also highlights humanity's fascination with uncovering history's secrets beneath the waves. It reminds us that even in this underwater realm teeming with marine life, remnants from our past can still be found. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork housed in Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France; we are reminded that exploration knows no bounds – whether it be on land or undersea.
