EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored steel engraving depicts a Harbour Seal, Phoca vitulina, in its natural aquatic environment. The intricate detail of the engraving, created by W.H. Lizars after an illustration by James Stewart, brings to life the distinctive features of this marine mammal. The Harbour Seal, also known as the Common Seal or the Pennant's Pied Seal, is identified by its rounded foreflippers, which are shorter than those of the Grey Seal. The Harbour Seal's coat is smooth and sleek, with a variable pattern of spots and blotches that provide excellent camouflage in the water. This engraving is part of Sir William Jardine's Naturalists Library: Mammalia, published in Edinburgh in 1839. Jardine was a Scottish surgeon, naturalist, and antiquarian, who was a leading figure in the Scottish Enlightenment. His Naturalists Library was a comprehensive work on the natural history of mammals, featuring high-quality illustrations and detailed descriptions. The Harbour Seal is a common sight in the North Atlantic and Arctic regions, and is an important species in the marine ecosystem. They feed primarily on fish, but will also eat crustaceans, mollusks, and eels. They are social animals, often forming large colonies on beaches and rocky shores. This beautiful engraving is a testament to the artistry and scientific accuracy of the time, and provides a fascinating glimpse into the natural history of the Harbour Seal.
