EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving, taken from Friedrich Johann Bertuch's Bilderbuch fur Kinder (Picture Book for Children), published in Weimar in 1802, showcases three remarkable marine mammals: a Harbour Porpoise (Phocaena phocaena, 1), a Beluga Whale (Delphinapterus leucas, 2), and a Northern Bottlenose Whale (Hyperoodon ampullatus, 3). The intricate details of this illustration highlight the unique features of each creature, allowing young readers to explore the wonders of the ocean from the comfort of their homes. The Harbour Porpoise, the smallest of the three, is depicted with its sleek, dark body and triangular dorsal fin. Its eyes are wide and curious, reflecting its playful nature. The Beluga Whale, also known as the 'sea canary' due to its melodic vocalizations, is illustrated with its distinctive white body and rounded melon. Its long, curved mouth is open, possibly in the act of emitting a sound. The Northern Bottlenose Whale, the largest of the trio, is shown with its long, slender body and distinctively shaped head, which earned it its name. The engraving's vibrant colors bring each creature to life, making this a fascinating and educational piece for children. Friedrich Johann Bertuch's Bilderbuch fur Kinder was an encyclopedia of knowledge for young readers, filled with captivating illustrations of various plants, animals, and natural phenomena. This engraving, in particular, offers a glimpse into the rich marine life that existed long before the advent of modern photography. Today, it serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the natural world and inspiring future generations to appreciate the beauty and diversity of our planet.
