EDITORS COMMENTS
In this wood engraving from 1874, we are transported back in time to the thrilling world of American whaling. The image captures a pivotal moment as a lookout perched high on the mast platform of an American whaling schooner spots a majestic whale in the vast ocean. With his hand shading his eyes and mouth wide open, he cries out with excitement, "There she blows!". The scene is filled with energy and anticipation as the sailor's call reverberates through the rigging. The late afternoon sun casts a warm glow on the wooden deck and sails of the ship, creating a striking contrast against the deep blue sea. Men can be seen diligently working around him, their focus now shifted towards this incredible sighting. This wood engraving not only showcases maritime life but also encapsulates the dangerous yet exhilarating work undertaken by these brave sailors during that era. It serves as a testament to their skill and courage while highlighting their deep connection with nature. As we gaze upon this historical print from The Granger Collection, we cannot help but feel drawn into this momentous event unfolding before our eyes. It reminds us of humanity's enduring fascination with exploration and our eternal quest for adventure on both land and sea.
