EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored steel engraving by W.H. Lizars, after an illustration by James Stewart, depicts a Ringed Seal (Phoca hispida), also known as Netsik or Nattiq to the Inuit people. The Ringed Seal is a species of true or earless seal, native to the Arctic and sub-Arctic regions of the Northern Hemisphere. The Ringed Seal is distinguished by its distinctive ringed fur, which provides excellent camouflage among the ice floes. This image is taken from Robert Hamilton's "Amphibious Carnivora," part of Sir William Jardine's Naturalist's Library: Mammalia, published in Edinburgh in 1839. The work was a significant contribution to the scientific understanding of the natural history of mammals, particularly those that inhabit both terrestrial and aquatic environments. The illustration was produced during a time when European explorers and naturalists were making extensive discoveries in the Arctic regions. French naturalist Frédéric Cuvier, who described the Ringed Seal in 1829, was among those who contributed to the scientific knowledge of this species. The Ringed Seal is an essential food source for many Arctic communities, particularly for the Inuit people. They are hunted using traditional methods such as harpoons and nets. The seal's meat, blubber, and fur are used for food, clothing, and shelter. This beautiful and intricately detailed engraving is a testament to the scientific curiosity and artistic talent of the time, providing a window into the natural history of the Ringed Seal and the Arctic world.
