EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the pages of Archibald Thorburn's British Mammals Vol. 1 & 2, published between 1920 and 1921, showcases a fascinating comparison of three distinct species of dolphins: the White-beaked Dolphin (Lagenorhynchus albirostris), Short-beaked Common Dolphin (Delphinus delphis), and Common Bottlenose Dolphin (Tursiops truncatus). The White-beaked Dolphin, depicted on the left, is characterized by its long, curved beak and white markings on its beak and pectoral fins. This large dolphin is a resident of the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans, preferring colder waters. Moving to the middle, the Short-beaked Common Dolphin displays a sleek, streamlined body with a short, stubby beak and distinctive, hourglass-shaped markings on its sides. This social and acrobatic dolphin is found in temperate and tropical waters worldwide. Lastly, the Common Bottlenose Dolphin, on the right, is easily recognized by its distinctive, bulbous forehead and long, pointed beak. This highly intelligent and adaptable dolphin is a resident of shallow, coastal waters in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. Thorburn's meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill bring these three remarkable cetaceans to life, providing a glimpse into the natural world of the early 20th century. This print serves as a reminder of the rich biodiversity of the marine realm and the importance of preserving these magnificent creatures for future generations.
