EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from the 19th century showcases the majestic Narwhal and vulnerable Dugong, two fascinating creatures of the sea. Created by Karl Joseph Brodtmann as part of Heinrich Rudolf Schinz's Illustrated Natural History of Men and Animals in 1836, this print is a true masterpiece. In this engraving, Brodtmann skillfully captures the intricate details of these marine animals. The Narwhal, scientifically known as Monodon monoceros, with its long spiraled tusk protruding from its head, stands out against the backdrop of ocean waves. Its mythical appearance adds an air of mystery to this already enchanting creature. Beside it swims the Dugong, or Dugong dugon, gracefully gliding through the water. This gentle giant is depicted in all its splendor, showcasing its unique features that make it vulnerable to human activities. The artist's attention to detail brings out every curve and contour on their bodies. The lithograph not only serves as a visual delight but also highlights important aspects of zoology and natural history during that era. It offers a glimpse into how these magnificent creatures were perceived at a time when scientific knowledge was rapidly expanding. Preserved through time by Florilegius' careful curation, this print continues to captivate viewers with its beauty and historical significance. It reminds us of our responsibility to protect these remarkable species for future generations to admire and cherish.
