EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment in the Arctic wilderness. A polar bear is seen drifting on an iceberg, its solitary figure contrasting against the vast expanse of icy waters. The scene unfolds after the collapse of a block of ice from Spitzberg, an archipelago in the Arctic Ocean. The engraving, created by V. Foulquier and featured in Charles Martins' book "Spitzberg in 1838-1839" transports us back to a time when exploration was at its peak. Published in "Le tour du monde" edited by Edouard Charton in 1865, this artwork offers a glimpse into the harsh realities faced by both humans and animals alike during expeditions to these remote regions. The hazy atmosphere adds an air of mystery to the image, emphasizing the isolation experienced by this majestic creature as it navigates through treacherous waters. The polar bear's presence serves as a reminder of how fragile their habitat is and highlights the impact that climate change has on their survival. Leonard de Selva's photograph beautifully preserves this historical engraving for future generations to appreciate. It serves as a visual testament to our ever-evolving understanding of nature's wonders and reminds us of our responsibility to protect these delicate ecosystems for years to come.
