1820 1829 Aggression Aquatic Fishing Harpoon In A Row Industry Picture Violence Whale Whaling
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Kean Collection takes us back to a time of intense aggression and violence in the fishing industry. The image depicts a group of male sailors rowing their boats, armed with gun harpoons, as they launch an attack on a magnificent whale. The scene is filled with raw energy and determination as these men embark on their dangerous mission. The power dynamics between man and nature are clearly at play here, showcasing the relentless pursuit of profit within the whaling industry during the early 19th century. The stark contrast between light and dark adds depth to this archival engraving, emphasizing both the bravery of these seafarers and the brutality inflicted upon these majestic creatures. It serves as a poignant reminder of our complex relationship with nature throughout history. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, it prompts contemplation about humanity's impact on marine life and raises questions about conservation efforts today. This thought-provoking print captures not only an important moment in nautical history but also serves as a visual testament to mankind's insatiable quest for resources at any cost.
