EDITORS COMMENTS
This steel engraving captures the awe-inspiring sight of a great sea serpent spotted off the coast of Greenland in 1734. Described by Hans Egede, this mythical creature known as Scoliophis atlanticus is brought to life through the intricate illustration by James Stewart and expertly engraved by W.H. Lizars. The monstrous size and fantastical appearance of this sea serpent evoke both fear and wonder, as it emerges from the depths of the ocean with its serpentine body twisting and turning in an otherworldly dance. The detailed rendering of every scale and curve adds to the realism of this legendary beast, making it seem almost tangible despite its mythical origins. As part of Sir William Jardine's Naturalist's Library: Mammalia, this print serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with creatures that dwell beyond our understanding. It transports us back to a time when exploration was filled with mystery and danger, reminding us of the vastness and complexity of our natural world. Whether viewed as a symbol of terror or curiosity, this depiction of the great sea serpent is sure to captivate viewers for generations to come, serving as a reminder that there are still mysteries waiting to be uncovered beneath the waves.
