EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a piece of history from Nares' Arctic expedition in 1875 - a stuffed arctic hare model dating back to the late nineteenth century. The intricate details of this organic skin and synthetic glass creation are truly remarkable, showcasing the artistry and craftsmanship of the time.
The large white Arctic hare is mounted in a sitting posture on snow-covered rocks, surrounded by grass and plants against a vivid blue background. The realism captured in this display is both captivating and educational, offering viewers a glimpse into the wildlife of the North Pole and Arctic Circle during that era.
Set within a glazed case, this stuffed arctic hare model stands as a testament to the dedication and precision required for taxidermy work. Its lifelike appearance invites us to appreciate the beauty of nature while also serving as a reminder of our impact on animal populations over time.
As we gaze upon this exquisite piece from the National Maritime Museum in London, we are transported back to an age where exploration and discovery were at their peak. It serves as both an artistic marvel and historical artifact, preserving not only the image of an arctic hare but also capturing a moment frozen in time.
