EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the stunning beauty of the Strait of Magellan in southern Chile during the 19th century. The image, taken from a historic publication titled "A Voyage Round the World in 500 Days" published in 1879, showcases the rugged mountain scenery and vast expanse of water that characterizes this iconic location.
The black and white engraving evokes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era, where nautical vessels sailed through these treacherous waters on their way to new adventures. The absence of people in the scene allows us to focus solely on the natural splendor of the landscape, with no distractions from modern life.
As we gaze upon this old, run-down depiction of the Strait of Magellan, we are transported back in time to an age when exploration and discovery were at their peak. The intricate details captured by the engraver bring history to life before our eyes, reminding us of the rich cultural heritage that defines this region.
In this artwork by Ken Welsh, we are reminded of the enduring allure and mystery that surrounds South America's landscapes. The Strait of Magellan stands as a testament to nature's power and beauty, inviting us to explore its depths and uncover its secrets.
