EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored copperplate stipple engraving, published by F.G. Levrault in Paris, France, in 1816, showcases two remarkable marine mammal species: the Fur Seal (Arctocephalus gazella?) and the Steller Sea Lion (Eumetopias jubatus). The illustration, created by the skilled artist Jean Gabriel Pretre and expertly engraved by Massard under the direction of Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin, is a captivating representation of these animals as they were documented during the early 19th century. The Fur Seal, possibly identified as Arctocephalus gazella, is depicted in the foreground, resting on the rocky shoreline. With its sleek, thick fur coat and distinctive ear flaps, this agile and social marine mammal is a common sight along the coasts of the North and South Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. In the background, the endangered Steller Sea Lion (Eumetopias jubatus) can be seen basking on a floating iceberg. This large and powerful species, named after the German naturalist Georg Wilhelm Steller, is characterized by its large size, up to 11 feet long and weighing up to 2,200 pounds, and its distinctive facial markings, including a prominent forehead and large, rounded ears. This exquisite piece of natural history art is a testament to the intricate detail and beauty of the natural world, as captured by the talented hands of Pretre and Turpin. The Fur Seal and Steller Sea Lion illustration is an essential addition to any collection of historical zoological art and a reminder of the rich biodiversity of our planet.
