EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the intense world of whaling in the late 19th century. The image, titled "Whalers Trying Out" showcases a dramatic scene of men on a ship engaged in the arduous task of carving up a massive whale and hauling its meat aboard. The engraving, created by Julian Oliver Davidson for Century Magazine in August 1890, perfectly captures the perils and romance associated with this dangerous profession. The sheer size of the whale juxtaposed against the smallness of the men highlights their bravery and determination as they navigate treacherous waters. The composition exudes an aura of adventure as steamships sail gracefully through choppy seas, emphasizing both man's reliance on technology and his deep connection to nature. This artwork not only depicts an important chapter in maritime history but also serves as a reminder of our complex relationship with wildlife. Through this powerful image, we are transported to a time when whaling was at its peak; it evokes emotions ranging from awe at nature's grandeur to contemplation about humanity's impact on marine life. It is a testament to both the skillful artistry behind Davidson's work and his ability to capture such raw emotion within one frame. Displayed here is just one snapshot from an extensive collection that offers invaluable insights into our past.
