EDITORS COMMENTS
This print of a Fin Whale, created in 1860 by the German School, takes us back to a time when scientific exploration and artistic representation went hand in hand. The vibrant colors of this lithograph bring the majestic creature to life, showcasing its immense size and grace. The Fin Whale, also known as the nordic Schnabelwal or nordic Finnfisch, is depicted here alongside other species such as Balaenoptera boops, Balaenoptera physalus, and Balaena mysticetus. This illustration was part of Leopold Joseph Fitzinger's "Bilder-Atlas zur wissenschaftlich-populären Naturgeschichte der Säugetiere in ihren sämtlichen Hauptformen" published in 1860. As we gaze upon this artwork from a private collection now preserved by ePurix Verlag Volker Christen, we are reminded of the rich diversity found within our natural world. The fin whale's distinctive features - its long body with a prominent dorsal fin and grooves along its throat - are beautifully captured in this image. Whales have always fascinated humans with their sheer size and mysterious nature. This print not only serves as an aesthetic delight but also offers valuable insights into these magnificent creatures for both scientists and art enthusiasts alike. Through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, we can appreciate how art has been instrumental in documenting our understanding of wildlife throughout history. Let this remarkable print transport you to an era
