EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print, we are transported back to a stormy day in 1890 aboard an opulent Atlantic steamer. The first class dining saloon becomes the stage for a dramatic metaphorical dance between man and nature. As the waves crash against the ship's hull, passengers brave enough to venture into the elegant dining room find themselves facing not only their sumptuous meal but also the formidable challenge of maintaining composure amidst rolling seas. Waiters valiantly navigate through turbulent waters, skillfully balancing tureens filled with piping hot soup. The image captures both the physical difficulty faced by diners as they struggle to keep their seats and hold onto their plates, as well as the symbolic representation of life's trials during tumultuous times. It serves as a reminder that even in moments of great adversity, human resilience prevails. This engraving from F Whymper's book "The Sea: Its Stirring Story of Adventure, Peril & Heroism" offers us a glimpse into an era when transatlantic travel was synonymous with luxury and grandeur. Despite being surrounded by rough seas and stormy weather, these courageous travelers continue to indulge in fine cuisine while embracing uncertainty on their voyage across the vast Atlantic Ocean. Through this evocative image captured by an unknown creator, we witness how art can transport us through
