EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the opening page of Walt Whitman's renowned poem, "O Captain! My Captain!". The illuminated manuscript on vellum, created by Alberto Sangorski in 1928, features a stunning vignette of a picturesque harbour scene. Measuring at 7.2x12.3 cm, this piece is part of a private collection. The artwork also includes a page from the book "The Gettysberg Speech and The Second Inaugural Address" by Abraham Lincoln and Walt Whitman. Sangorski masterfully combines watercolour techniques with intricate lettering to bring these powerful words to life. In this particular image, there are no people present as it focuses solely on nature's elements and the beauty of the sea. A stormy atmosphere adds an element of danger and excitement to the composition. The floral pattern surrounding the text adds an elegant touch to contrast with the tempestuous backdrop. Sangorski's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his brush, creating a visually striking depiction that transports viewers into another time and place. This early 20th-century masterpiece captures both the power of poetry and the allure of maritime scenes. Overall, this print serves as a testament to Walt Whitman's enduring legacy as one of America's greatest poets while showcasing Alberto Sangorski's talent for illuminating manuscripts with breathtaking artistry.
