EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored steel engraving, created by W.H. Lizars after an original illustration by James Stewart, showcases the majestic Greenland or harp seal, Pagophilus groenlandicus, in its natural Arctic habitat. The image captures both a male and a female seal, their sleek bodies glistening against the backdrop of towering ice floes and icebergs. The male, with its distinctive harp-shaped markings on its back, gazes intently out of the water, while the female, with her smooth, gray coat, rests peacefully on an ice floe. The Greenland or harp seal is a crucial species in the Arctic food chain and plays a significant role in the ecosystem. These seals are well adapted to the harsh Arctic conditions, with the ability to remain underwater for extended periods of time, and their agility on the ice makes them a formidable predator. This stunning engraving is taken from Robert Hamilton's "Amphibious Carnivora," which was published as part of Sir William Jardine's Naturalist's Library: Mammalia in Edinburgh in 1839. The illustration provides a fascinating glimpse into the natural history of the Greenland harp seal, capturing their beauty and grace in intricate detail. The hand-coloring adds an extra layer of vibrancy and depth to the image, making it a true work of art.
