EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored copperplate engraving, taken from René Primevere's "Lessons Complements de Buffon," published by Pourrat Frères in Paris in 1838, showcases two of the most beloved marine mammals: the harbor porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) and the common bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus). The illustration captures the natural beauty and intricate details of these animals, which were essential additions to the expanding body of knowledge in the fields of zoology and natural history during the 19th century. The harbor porpoise, depicted on the left, is a small, stocky porpoise with a rounded head and a short, triangular dorsal fin. Its coloration is uniformly dark, with a lighter belly. Harbor porpoises are found in the North Atlantic and North Pacific Oceans, and they are the most common porpoise species in European waters. On the right, the common bottlenose dolphin is depicted with a long, slender body, a distinctive curved dorsal fin, and a prominent beak. Its coloration is gray on the back and white on the belly, with a distinct hourglass-shaped pattern on each side. Common bottlenose dolphins are found in warm and temperate waters around the world, and they are among the most widely distributed and abundant dolphin species. This engraving not only serves as a testament to the artistic skills of the time but also highlights the importance of documenting and preserving the natural world for future generations. The intricate details captured in this illustration continue to captivate viewers and inspire a deep appreciation for the marine life that inhabits our oceans.
