Panama Sharks, and How to Circumvent Them - A Humorous 19th Century Lithograph
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This lithograph from the 19th century captures a scene of both humor and intrigue. Titled "Panama Sharks, and How to Circumvent Them" it offers a whimsical take on the challenges faced by sailors navigating the treacherous waters off Panama. In this comical illustration for The Graphic, published on March 4,1893, we see a ship in distress as it encounters an extraordinary number of sharks. The crew's attempts to outsmart these menacing creatures are depicted with clever ingenuity. From shooting harpoons at hammerhead sharks to using contrivances like bleached almonds saturated with prussic acid as bait, every possible method is employed. Amidst the chaos, one can't help but notice the presence of an ordinary dog slipping away unnoticed while carrying what appears to be a walking stick or cane. Perhaps this canine companion holds the key to circumventing these formidable foes? The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; each shark exhibits sharp teeth and dorsal fins cutting through dull explosions in the water. Naval flags flutter atop masts while midshipmen practice their shooting skills against target boards adorned with images of tiger sharks. With its blend of humor and adventure, this lithograph invites viewers into a world where science meets imagination in order to combat nature's most fearsome predators. It serves as a reminder that even in times of peril
