EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is a print from a collection of pencil sketches and watercolor drawings of mammals created by Dr. Edward Adrian Wilson between 1890 and 1910. The featured drawing depicts an Orcinus orca, commonly known as the killer whale or orca, in a dramatic and powerful pose, earning it the epithet "gladiator." The Orca is a large black-and-white cetacean belonging to the family Delphinidae and the order Cetacea, which also includes dolphins. The Orca is a highly intelligent and social mammal, found in all the world's oceans, with a preference for cooler waters. They are apex predators, reaching lengths of up to 32 feet and weighing up to 10 tons. In this drawing, the Orca is shown in its aquatic habitat, leaping out of the water in a display of agility and power. Dr. Wilson, born in 1872, was a renowned British naturalist, explorer, and illustrator. His work during the late 19th and early 20th centuries contributed significantly to the scientific understanding of various mammals, including this magnificent creature. Wilson's meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill are evident in this stunning illustration, which captures the Orca's strength and grace. This drawing serves as a testament to the fascination and appreciation for the natural world that existed during this era. It is a reminder of the importance of documenting and preserving the beauty and diversity of the animal kingdom for future generations.
