EDITORS COMMENTS
Prince Albert I of Monaco and Oceanographer, united in their pursuit of marine exploration, stand on the deck of the majestic ship 'Princess Alice'. In this 19th-century photograph by an unknown photographer, they are accompanied by a lifeless globicephal - a poignant reminder of the fragile beauty that lies beneath the ocean's surface. The image captures both the scientific curiosity and deep reverence for nature shared by these two remarkable individuals. Prince Albert I, known as 'the Sailor Prince', was not only a member of European royalty but also a passionate advocate for marine research and conservation. His groundbreaking expeditions aboard the 'Princess Alice' paved the way for modern oceanography. As they gaze upon the deceased globicephal, one can almost feel their profound sense of loss mingled with awe at its magnificence. The bone-like structure lying beside them serves as a stark reminder that even in death, these creatures continue to inspire wonder and intrigue. Giancarlo Costa's masterful preservation of this historical moment allows us to glimpse into an era when science and exploration were intertwined with aristocracy. Through his lens, we witness Prince Albert I's unwavering commitment to understanding our planet's oceans while standing against commercial exploitation. This extraordinary photograph is not just an artistic masterpiece; it is a testament to humanity's ongoing quest to unravel nature's mysteries and protect its delicate balance.
