EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "One night in the belly of a whale" takes us on a mesmerizing journey into the depths of imagination. The image showcases an unknown artist's interpretation of an author's experience during his voyage in Iceland. As the author finds himself inside a boer, which is home to fishermen, he is welcomed with open arms. The boer depicted in this engraving is no ordinary dwelling; its frame and furniture are crafted from the skeleton of a massive cetacean and adorned with skins from seals, horses, and dogs. This unique fusion of natural elements creates an otherworldly ambiance that transports viewers to a realm where reality intertwines with fantasy. Published in 1868 as part of "Le tour du monde, nouveau journal des voyages" edited by Edouard Charton, this engraving captures the essence of exploration and discovery prevalent during that era. It serves as both an artistic representation and historical documentation of Noel Nougaret's recital about his Icelandic adventure. The Selva Collection proudly preserves this remarkable piece within their private collection. Leonard de Selva skillfully captured this photograph, allowing us to appreciate every intricate detail while immersing ourselves in its enigmatic narrative. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded that art has the power to transport us beyond our everyday lives into realms filled with wonderment and possibility.
