Seal Rocks, 1872. Creator: John Filmer
Seal Rocks, 1872. Rocky coast on the Pacific Ocean, California, USA: the cliffs where the sea-lions congregate. Truly, their bark is worse than their bite. They occasionally get up a little altercation, and roar tremendously; but they are a placable people, and their contests are not alarming...The seals seem to appreciate their perfect security, and congregate in hundreds on these cliffs. The females suckle their young ones, and the males catch fish and sun themselves, as if they were in the middle of the ocean, where no eye of cruel man could see their glistening skins, and begin to calculate what they would fetch in the New-York market. From " Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In, A Delineation by Pen and Pencil of the Mountains, Rivers, Lakes...with Illustrations on Steel and Wood by Eminent American Artists" Vol. I, edited by William Cullen Bryant.

Seal Rocks, 1872 - A Glimpse into the Serene World of Sea Lions
This print by John Filmer takes us back to the rocky coast of Seal Rocks in California, USA, in the year 1872. The image showcases a mesmerizing sight - cliffs where sea lions gather and create their own lively community. Despite their intimidating barks, these marine creatures are far from dangerous. In fact, as described by Filmer himself, they engage in occasional altercations and roaring contests that pose no real threat. The photograph beautifully captures the perfect harmony between nature and wildlife. Hundreds of seals can be seen congregating on these secure cliffs while females lovingly nurse their young ones nearby. The males take advantage of this peaceful haven to catch fish and bask under the sun's warm rays. Filmer's lens transports us to a world hidden from cruel human eyes; a place where glistening seal skins remain untouched by commercial calculations or exploitation for profit. This particular print is part of "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In" edited by William Cullen Bryant and features illustrations on steel and wood by eminent American artists. Through this remarkable artwork, we are reminded of the beauty found within our natural surroundings and encouraged to appreciate the tranquility that exists when humans coexist harmoniously with wildlife.
