EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "ICEBERG, 1887" we are transported back in time to the late 19th century. Passengers on board a steamship in the vast North Atlantic can be seen eagerly observing an enormous iceberg. The wood engraving, created by English artists in 1887, beautifully captures the awe-inspiring sight that greeted these maritime travelers. Amidst the icy expanse of the iceberg stands a poignant scene - a polar bear stranded and isolated from its natural habitat. The unfortunate creature's fate hangs precariously as it struggles for survival amidst starvation and harsh conditions. This striking image serves as a stark reminder of the fragile balance between humanity and nature. On deck, men and women donning fashionable attire gather around railings with binoculars in hand, their eyes fixed upon this extraordinary spectacle. They stand witness to both wonder and tragedy unfolding before them. The intricate details of rigging, pulleys, and the ship's exterior showcase the technological advancements of transportation during that era. It is evident that travel was not just about reaching destinations but also about experiencing breathtaking sights such as this one. This remarkable print by Granger Art on Demand transports us back to an era where exploration met with untamed beauty and unexpected encounters with nature's wonders. It reminds us of our responsibility towards preserving our planet while marveling at its majestic creations like icebergs adrift in distant oceans.
