EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Whale or Greenland Fishery, 1720" by Elisha Kirkall takes us back to the early 18th century British whaling expeditions off the coast of Greenland. The image showcases a scene filled with action and adventure as sailors in small rowing boats skillfully hunt whales using harpoons. In the bottom left corner, we witness a dramatic encounter between men and a polar bear, while on the right side, a walrus is shot and clubbed. The photograph is part of Admiral Sir Edward Evans' book "British Polar Explorers" published in London in 1946. It offers an intriguing glimpse into the history of exploration, fishing, and trade during this time period. The image highlights not only the dangerous occupation these men undertook but also their resilience and bravery in facing harsh Arctic conditions. The presence of British flags flying proudly from the ships reminds us of Britain's dominance as a maritime nation during that era. Icebergs dotting the ocean add to the breathtaking scenery captured within this engraving by Kirkall. Through this print, we are transported to an era where whale hunting was not only a profession but also an integral part of British culture and economy. This historical document serves as a reminder of our past relationship with aquatic life and how it shaped both our geography and society throughout centuries gone by.
