EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored steel engraving, titled "Ours blanc, Oursins" (Polar Bear, Sea Urchins), is an exquisite illustration from the "Dictionnaire Pittoresque d'Histoire Naturelle" (Picturesque Dictionary of Natural History) by Felix-Edouard Guerin-Meneville, published in Paris between 1834 and 1839. The illustration, created by the skilled hand of Adolph Fries, showcases a polar bear, Ursus maritimus 1, in its natural Arctic habitat, standing on an ice floe. The vulnerable polar bear, a species of special concern due to climate change and habitat loss, gazes intently towards the water's edge. Intriguingly, the polar bear is accompanied by two species of sea urchins, an edible sea urchin, Echinus esculentus 2, and a red pencil urchin, Heterocentrotus mammillatus 3. The edible sea urchin, also known as the green sea urchin, is a common marine invertebrate found in cold waters. It is an important food source for various marine organisms, including humans. The red pencil urchin, on the other hand, is a venomous sea urchin with distinctive red spines. The meticulous attention to detail in this engraving is evident in the intricate textures and patterns of the polar bear's fur and the delicate lines of the sea urchins' spines. The use of hand-coloring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a stunning work of art as well as an accurate representation of nature. This engraving is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving it for future generations.
