EDITORS COMMENTS
This sketch of three dolphins, titled "Plate one" from Edward Wilson's Terra Nova Sketch Book, showcases the remarkable artistic abilities of the renowned naturalist and explorer, Dr. Edward Adrian Wilson. Created during the Terra Nova Expedition (1910-1913), led by Sir Robert Falcon Scott to the Antarctic, this illustration offers a rare glimpse into the aquatic world of dolphins, which were among the many animals Wilson studied during his journey. As a mammal, the dolphin is a member of the Cetacean order, specifically the Delphinidae family, and the suborder Odontoceti. These toothed cetaceans are placed in the class Mammalia, which includes eutherian mammals, therian mammals, and placental mammals. Wilson's detailed sketch beautifully captures the dynamic and agile nature of these marine creatures, with their streamlined bodies, powerful tails, and distinctive dorsal fins. Wilson's sketchbook is a testament to his keen observation skills and his dedication to documenting the natural world. As an explorer, scientist, and illustrator, Wilson made significant contributions to our understanding of the Antarctic ecosystem and its diverse inhabitants. This particular sketch of dolphins is a valuable addition to the extensive body of work Wilson produced during his expedition. The Terra Nova Sketch Book is a treasure trove of natural history, providing a window into the past and offering insights into the wonders of the natural world. Wilson's illustrations continue to inspire and captivate audiences, reminding us of the importance of exploration, discovery, and the preservation of the natural world.
