EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Sea Serpent in the Mediterranean" takes us back to a historic moment captured on June 2nd. The image showcases the majestic creature in all its glory, as seen from H. M. Yacht "Osborne" off the north coast of Sicily. The source size of this engraving is an impressive 3770 x 1672 pixels, allowing us to appreciate every intricate detail. At first glance, we notice a row of fins emerging from the salty water, immediately drawing our attention towards this mysterious being. As we delve deeper into the image, we are confronted with the astonishing head and flappers of this sea serpent. Its bullet-shaped head measures an astounding six feet in thickness, while its neck appears slender yet powerful. The creature's broad shoulders span approximately 15 to 20 feet across its back, emphasizing its immense size and strength. The semi-revolving motion of its flappers gives it a distinct paddle-like movement that propels this monster through the waters with grace and force. This engraved image transports us back to Victorian times when such illustrations were highly valued for their historical significance and illustrative technique. With a touch of retro styling reminiscent of vintage art and culture, it captures our imagination and invites us to explore the wonders that lie beneath the surface of our vast oceans.
