EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century takes us back to a thrilling moment on the coast near San Francisco. The scene depicts an exciting encounter with sea-lions while bathers enjoy a refreshing swim in the ocean. As they frolic in the water, these brave individuals find themselves face-to-face with these magnificent creatures of the deep. The artist skillfully captures both the excitement and danger of this unexpected meeting. The sea-lions, with their powerful bodies and curious expressions, create an atmosphere of awe and wonder. It is as if time stands still as bathers try to comprehend this extraordinary interaction. The coastal backdrop adds to the allure of this image, showcasing San Francisco's stunning coastline. With its rugged cliffs and crashing waves, it serves as a reminder that nature can be both beautiful and unpredictable. This engraving originally appeared in The Days Doings newspaper on September 9th, 1871, accompanied by an anecdote about this remarkable event. It offers us a glimpse into history when encounters like these were rare and cherished moments. As we admire this print today, we are reminded of our connection to wildlife and how even mundane activities like bathing can become unforgettable adventures when shared with animals who call our oceans home.
