EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the year 1592, during a time when intrepid Portuguese sailors embarked on daring voyages in search of new lands and riches. The engraving by Theodore de Bry captures a remarkable moment in West Indian waters as a Portuguese ship of discovery becomes an unexpected refuge for flying fish desperately evading their predators. In this snapshot from history, we witness nature's incredible spectacle unfolding before our eyes. The flying fish, renowned for their unique ability to glide above water surfaces, find themselves caught between the jaws of danger and the safety offered by the ship's deck. With astonishing precision and detail, de Bry masterfully portrays these aquatic creatures suspended mid-air against a backdrop that showcases the maritime prowess of this vessel. The image not only highlights the natural wonders encountered during these expeditions but also serves as a testament to humanity's insatiable thirst for knowledge and exploration. It transports us to an era where brave sailors ventured into uncharted territories with hopes of discovering new worlds. As we gaze upon this exquisite engraving, we are reminded of how art can preserve historical moments forever. This piece invites us to reflect on our own journeys through life and encourages us to embrace curiosity while navigating uncharted waters in pursuit of our own discoveries.
