The Kraken, As Seen by the Eye of the Imagination, by Edgar Etherington depicts the legendary sea monster's tentacles seizing a three-masted sailing ship amid towering waves and lightning-streaked storm clouds. Etherington created the wood engraving in 1887 for John Gibson's Monsters of the Sea, Legendary and Authentic, a Victorian survey of maritime folklore that paired dramatic illustration with the era's fascination with tales of the deep.
Artist: Edgar Etherington. Date: c. 1887.
