EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Seal shot in the Thames at Wandsworth" takes us back to 19th century London. The image showcases a rare encounter with marine life within the bustling River Thames. The scene depicts a majestic seal gracefully swimming through the murky waters, its sleek body elegantly captured by the artist's skilled hand. Its large eyes seem to gaze curiously at the viewer, as if inviting us into its watery realm. Wandsworth Bridge looms in the background, reminding us of the urban setting where this extraordinary sighting took place. This enchanting moment was deemed significant enough to be featured in an edition of Illustrated Times on January 17th, 1857. As we admire this historical print from a private collection, it serves as a reminder of how our relationship with nature has evolved over time. In an era when wildlife encounters were less common amidst cityscapes like London's, this seal's appearance would have undoubtedly stirred excitement and wonder among those who witnessed it firsthand. Today, this engraving allows us to reflect on both our past and present connection with nature. It encourages us to appreciate these remarkable moments when wildlife ventures into unexpected territories—a testament to their resilience and adaptability in an ever-changing world.
