EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "SQUID WASHED ASHORE, 1877" takes us back to a remarkable event that occurred on the Newfoundland coast over a century ago. In this wood engraving from a contemporary American newspaper, we witness the astonishing sight of a giant squid stranded on the beach in 1877. The image transports us to that moment when locals stumbled upon this colossal creature from the depths of the ocean. The sheer size and presence of this late marine marvel is awe-inspiring. Its elongated tentacles sprawl across the sandy shore, creating an eerie yet fascinating scene. The wood engraving beautifully captures every intricate detail of this magnificent cephalopod. From its bulbous head to its sinuous arms adorned with suckers, one can't help but be mesmerized by its otherworldly appearance. This historic snapshot serves as a testament to both human curiosity and nature's enigmatic wonders. It reminds us of our fascination with creatures that dwell beneath the waves and our relentless pursuit to understand their mysteries. As we admire this stunning piece by The Granger Collection, let it serve as a reminder that there are still countless secrets hidden within our vast oceans waiting to be discovered.
