EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving showcases the remarkable Teeth of Stellers Sea Cow, a rare and awe-inspiring creature from the 19th century. The artwork, created by an anonymous German School artist, is part of a private collection and depicts the teeth of this magnificent marine mammal in exquisite detail. The Stellers Sea Cow, also known as Rhytinae stelleri or Hydrodamalis gigas, was an enormous sea cow species that once inhabited the waters off the coast of Alaska. Sadly, it became extinct less than thirty years after its discovery due to overhunting by humans. The illustration is taken from "A Die SAaugthiere in Abbildungen nach der Natur mit BeschreibungenA" a renowned publication by Johann Christian Daniel von Schreber. This comprehensive work on natural history provided detailed descriptions and illustrations of various animals including mammals like manatees and sea cows. Through this beautifully crafted engraving, we are transported back in time to witness the magnificence of these gentle giants. The intricate lines and vibrant colors bring out every nuance of their unique dental structure. As we gaze upon this print with wonderment, let us remember not only the beauty captured within but also reflect on our responsibility to protect and preserve Earth's diverse wildlife for future generations.
