EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "There She Blows, Blows, Blows, for The Perils and Romance of Whaling" we are transported back to the thrilling era of 19th-century whaling. The image, originally featured in Century Magazine in June 1890, beautifully captures the essence of a perilous yet romantic adventure on the high seas. A majestic whaler ship dominates the scene as it sails through rough waters. Its sturdy rigging stands tall against the wind while seagulls gracefully glide above, adding an ethereal touch to the composition. A lone lookout perched atop the mast gazes out into the vast expanse of ocean with anticipation and determination. The presence of these magnificent creatures is hinted at by their telltale spouts rising from beneath the waves. These whales symbolize both danger and allure - their immense size contrasting with their graceful movements. This engraving transports us to a time when men braved treacherous conditions in pursuit of these marine giants. It speaks volumes about humanity's fascination with nature's wonders and our relentless desire for exploration. As we admire this historical artwork captured by Taber W. , we cannot help but be reminded of mankind's complex relationship with animals and wildlife conservation today. This powerful image serves as a reminder that even amidst perilous pursuits, there exists an undeniable romance between man and nature that continues to captivate us centuries later.
