The Hyperoodon and 19th-Century Marine Natural History
Drawn by James Stewart and engraved by William Home Lizars for Sir William Jardine’s iconic mid-19th-century series The Naturalist’s Library, The Hyperoodon is a remarkable vintage marine illustration. The hand-colored engraving depicts a northern bottlenose whale stranded along a sandy shoreline, accompanied by a small seabird in the foreground. In the background, traditional wooden fishing vessels and sailors at work anchor the scene in Victorian maritime history.
