. This coloured engraving, created by an anonymous German artist in the 19th century, offers a powerful visual narrative on the hazards faced by whalers. Hailing from a private collection and originally featured in Friedrich Justin Bertuch's renowned "Picture Book for Children" (1790-1830), this print titled "Die Gefahren des Walfischfanges" sheds light on the treacherous nature of hunting these majestic creatures.
