EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration is taken from Tabula, a natural history work by the German artist Johann Christian Friedrich Höhne, published in 1786. The plate, titled "Mammalia," showcases a diverse array of animals, including a majestic dolphin gracefully leaping out of the water. The dolphin, a toothed cetacean belonging to the Delphinidae family and the Odontoceti suborder, is a highly intelligent and social marine mammal. The illustration, created by the renowned artist Johann Christian Friedrich Höhne, under the supervision of Johann Christian Friedrich Höhne and Johann Christian Friedrich Höhne the Elder, is a testament to the intricate detail and accuracy of natural history illustrations during the late 18th century. The artist meticulously captured the dolphin's sleek body, powerful tail, and the distinctive beak-like snout, which is used for both breathing and navigating underwater. The illustration also features various other mammals, such as fish-eating seals, a rhinoceros, and an elephant. The sea is teeming with fishes, including carps, catfishes, and eels, adding to the richness and diversity of the scene. The artist's mastery of anatomy, form, and shading is evident in the way he has rendered the various creatures, making this illustration a true work of art. This illustration is a reminder of the fascination and curiosity that natural history elicits, and the role that art played in documenting and preserving the natural world for future generations. The plate is an invaluable resource for researchers, students, and anyone with an interest in the natural history of mammals and marine life.
