EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Seal Hunting in Greenland, c. 1890" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an unknown artist from the 19th century, this print offers a glimpse into the world of seal hunting during that era. The scene depicts a group of hunters aboard several boats navigating through icy waters off the coast of Greenland. A tugboat leads the way, guiding them towards their prey. The hunters stand poised with spears and pikes, ready to engage in this ancient practice. As we observe this image closely, we can't help but notice the immense beauty surrounding these brave individuals. Towering icebergs loom in the background, creating a stark contrast against the vast ocean view. It is within this harsh yet stunning environment that both hunter and hunted coexist. Seals dotting the water's surface add life to this frozen tableau. These remarkable animals are part of Greenland's wildlife fabric and have long been sought after for their valuable resources. While seal hunting may be seen as controversial today due to its impact on animal populations and conservation efforts, it is important to acknowledge its historical significance within certain cultures and communities. Through this engraving by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to witness an age-old tradition that shaped lives and livelihoods centuries ago - reminding us of our complex relationship with nature throughout history.
