EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving captures the beauty of the North Atlantic right whale, Eubalaena glacialis, a species that is critically endangered. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring this majestic creature to life on paper, showcasing its unique characteristics and importance in the natural world.
Created by Rene Primevere Lesson for Buffon Supplements in 1838, this illustration serves as a historical record of a species facing threats to its survival. The North Atlantic right whale, also known as Balaena borealis or baleine franche, has long been hunted for its valuable blubber and oil, leading to a drastic decline in population numbers.
As we admire this exquisite artwork, it is important to reflect on the urgent need for conservation efforts to protect these magnificent animals from extinction. Each stroke of the engraving reminds us of the fragility of our planet's biodiversity and the responsibility we have to preserve it for future generations.
Let this image serve as a reminder of the beauty and vulnerability of nature, inspiring us to take action towards ensuring the survival of species like the North Atlantic right whale. Together, we can make a difference in safeguarding our planet's precious wildlife.
