EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning illustration of a Sperm Whale from 1860. Created by the English School in the 19th century, this colour lithograph is part of a private collection and holds immense historical significance. The artwork comes from "The Instructive Picture Book: Lessons from the geographical Distribution of Animals, or the Natural History of the Quadrupeds which characterise the principal Divisions of the Globe". Published in 1860 by Edmonston & Douglas, this book aimed to educate readers about various animals and their habitats. The image beautifully captures the majestic presence of a Sperm Whale, known scientifically as Physeter macrocephalus or Physeter catodon. This magnificent mammal is renowned for its enormous size and distinctive appearance. The illustration portrays it with intricate detail and vibrant colors. With its focus on an animal that inhabits Antarctic regions, this artwork offers insight into one corner of our diverse natural world. It serves as a reminder of both humanity's fascination with wildlife and our ongoing efforts to understand and appreciate Earth's incredible biodiversity. Preserved by ePurix Verlag Volker Christen, this print has been made available for public viewing thanks to Bridgeman Images' dedication to sharing fine art with enthusiasts worldwide.
