The Albatross


Type: Gallery Image | Not Vetted



I am pretty sure this photo was drawn by Gustave Dore. I think this is one of the best looking photos of the scene where the albatross is killed and it not only shows the beautiful oceanic scene, but also the symbolism and tension in this scene. I think it is fascinating that he decided to draw it right before the albatross is killed which slows down this scene and leaves the audience to reflect on all of the elements that are included in this part.
