EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Dolphins disrupting the catching of sardines" showcases a remarkable scene captured by the French School in the 20th century. The image, part of a private collection, depicts a chaotic encounter between dolphins and fishermen during their pursuit of sardines. Set against the backdrop of a vast sea, we witness a traditional sailing boat manned by French fishermen. Clad in oilskins and equipped with fishing nets, they eagerly engage in their daily task of catching sardines. However, their efforts are unexpectedly interrupted by an exuberant pod of dolphins frolicking amidst the waves. The dolphins' playful presence creates both awe and frustration among the crew as they disrupt their carefully laid nets and scatter schools of precious fish. This dramatic illustration originally appeared in Le Petit Journal on March 23rd, 1913, underlining its historical significance. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this artwork sheds light on France's rich maritime heritage and deep connection to fishing industry. It symbolizes not only man's struggle to harness nature's resources but also highlights the unpredictable encounters that occur at sea. Through this vivid portrayal captured through colour lithography techniques, viewers are transported back in time to experience firsthand how these intelligent creatures can challenge human endeavors. This timeless piece serves as a reminder that even within our well-structured systems lies an untamed world where nature continues to surprise us with its beauty and disruption alike.
