EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored copperplate engraving showcases the captivating beauty of a Pied Seal or Harbor Seal, Phoca bicolor. The image, taken from The Naturalist's Pocket Magazine; or, Complete Cabinet of the Curiosities and Beauties of Nature, published by Harrison in London between 1798 and 1802, offers a detailed and accurate representation of this fascinating marine mammal. The Pied Seal, also known as the Harbor Seal, is a common species found along the North Atlantic and North Pacific coasts. With its distinctive coat, the seal appears to be adorned with a piebald pattern, hence its name. Its thick, velvety fur is primarily grayish-brown on the back and sides, while the belly is white or cream-colored. The seal's face, ears, and flippers are also white, making for a striking contrast against its darker body. Thomas Pennant, a renowned naturalist and author, contributed significantly to the scientific knowledge of the Pied Seal during this period. The Naturalist's Pocket Magazine, which aimed to provide an accessible and comprehensive record of natural history, was an essential resource for those interested in the natural world. This engraving, carefully crafted by skilled artisans, serves as a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and dedication to scientific accuracy that characterized the works of the time. The Pied Seal is a versatile and adaptable creature, capable of diving to depths of up to 600 feet and staying underwater for extended periods. Its diet consists primarily of fish, crustaceans, and mollusks. This image offers a glimpse into the rich natural history of the past, providing a window into the world of these captivating marine mammals.
