EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting print captures a grim scene from Norway in the 1930s, where beached whales lie lifeless along the shores. The practice of whaling was once a common industry in this region, with dead whales being lined up on the beaches to be processed for their valuable meat, fat, and other parts. These resources were then sent to market and used for a great number of commodities, including even perfume.
The sheer size and majesty of these marine creatures is evident in this image, now reduced to mere carcasses waiting to be harvested. The history of whaling is a controversial one, with many arguing that it has led to devastating declines in whale populations around the world.
Looking at this print today serves as a stark reminder of our impact on marine life and the importance of conservation efforts. It also offers us a glimpse into the past practices that have shaped our relationship with these magnificent animals.
As we reflect on this historical image, let us remember the significance of protecting our oceans and all its inhabitants for future generations to come.
