Walvisjagers voor het lichaam van een Groenlandse walvis before 1913

"Walvisjagers voor het lichaam van een Groenlandse walvis" (Whale hunters before the body of a Greenland whale), created before 1913 by Norwegian artist Anthon Kalland (1856-1933), is a small-format photograph depicting a group of people standing near a large whale carcass on a snowy shore. The scene, possibly from a whaling expedition in Greenland, illustrates a chapter in the history of whaling and the harsh conditions these hunters faced in the Arctic. The image, typical of Kalland's work, offers a glimpse into a world where man and nature co-exist, reminding us of the relationship between humans and the natural world.
