Maritime Wonders: Beached Leviathans of the 19th Century in Siberia, circa 1850
About the Item
The text in the image is in Italian:
"Balena spinta sulle coste della Siberia."
The phrase mean "Whale stranded on the coasts of Siberia."
The image is a lithograph created by Bertotti and published by Pagnoni in Milan, around 1850. It depicts a large whale that has been beached on the Siberian coast. Several figures, presumably local inhabitants or explorers, are gathered around the immense creature, with some standing on top of it, indicating its massive size. The setting sun (or possibly the moon) in the background casts a soft light over the scene, highlighting the silhouettes of the distant mountains and the whale. This print is likely from a series that documented natural phenomena or geographic explorations common in the 19th century.
