EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Polar Bear, 1833-39" transports us back to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into the world of natural history. Created by an anonymous French artist from that era, this artwork is part of a private collection. The print originates from a renowned publication called "A Dictionnaire pittoresque d'histoire naturelle et des phénomènes de la nature" which was published between 1833 and 1839 by Felix Edouard Guerin-Meneville. This comprehensive dictionary aimed to explore various aspects of the natural world through vivid illustrations like this one. In this particular image, we see a majestic polar bear gracefully navigating its icy habitat. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, capturing both the power and vulnerability of this magnificent creature. Surrounding the bear are delicate sea urchins floating in the ocean waters, adding an element of marine life to the composition. The engraving showcases not only artistic skill but also serves as an educational tool for understanding different species inhabiting our planet. It reminds us of humanity's long-standing fascination with wildlife and our continuous efforts to document and appreciate their beauty. Preserved over time, this historical artwork now resides within Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection. Its availability allows art enthusiasts worldwide to admire and delve into its rich historical context while appreciating the intricate craftsmanship behind it.
