EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Effet de Mirage Inverse, Le navire Hudson dans les mers polaires" transports us to the icy realms of the polar seas. Created by an anonymous French School artist in the 19th century, this artwork showcases a mesmerizing optical phenomenon known as mirage inverse. The image depicts the majestic ship Hudson sailing through what appears to be a surreal and distorted seascape. The mirage inverse effect causes distant objects to appear inverted or displaced due to atmospheric refraction, creating an otherworldly scene that captivates our imagination. Originally featured as an illustration for Amedee Guillemin's book "Le Monde Physique" this print offers a glimpse into the scientific curiosity of the era. With meticulous digital cleaning, this restored image allows us to appreciate every intricate detail and immerse ourselves in its enigmatic beauty. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of humanity's enduring fascination with exploration and discovery. The ship becomes a symbol of courage and determination as it navigates through these treacherous waters, defying nature's illusions. Bridgeman Images presents this remarkable piece from their private collection, inviting us to contemplate the wonders of both artistry and science. Let yourself be transported into a world where reality bends and dreams take shape – where ships sail on mirrored horizons amidst polar enchantment.
