EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored steel engraving depicts a Common Seal (Phoca vitulina), also known as a Harbour Seal, basking on the shores of the Scottish coast. The intricate detail of the engraving, produced by W.H. Lizars after an illustration by James Stewart, brings to life the distinctive features of this fascinating marine mammal. The Common Seal is native to the North Atlantic and Arctic regions, including the Scottish coasts. They are often found in shallow waters close to the shore, making them a common sight for coastal residents and visitors. Their coat is smooth and sleek, with a thick layer of blubber to keep them warm in the cold waters. Their eyes are small and beady, and their ears are hidden in the folds of their skin. The Common Seal is a carnivore, feeding primarily on fish, crustaceans, and mollusks. They are also known to eat eels and small birds. They are agile swimmers, able to hold their breath for up to 30 minutes, and can dive to depths of up to 600 feet. This beautiful engraving is part of Sir William Jardine's Naturalists Library: Mammalia, published in Edinburgh in 1839. Jardine was a Scottish botanist, zoologist, and natural history publisher. His library was a comprehensive collection of works on the natural history of mammals, featuring high-quality illustrations and detailed descriptions. The Common Seal continues to be a beloved sight for those living and visiting the Scottish coasts. This engraving serves as a reminder of the rich natural heritage that exists in our oceans and the importance of preserving it for future generations.
