About the Item

19th-Century Lithograph of Walruses in Arctic Habitat with Calf Illustration This finely detailed 19th-century lithograph presents a scientific study of the walrus (Odobenus rosmarus), labeled "De Walrus," as part of *De Zoogdieren: afgebeeld en in hunne levenswijze geschetst*. The print beautifully captures the massive, blubbery form of these marine mammals, highlighting their distinctive tusks, whiskered muzzles, and thick, wrinkled skin. The top illustration features a resting adult walrus on the ice, showcasing the species’ robust physique and powerful forelimbs. The lower illustration provides an intimate view of a mother walrus with her calf, emphasizing the maternal bond and early stages of development. Walruses inhabit the Arctic’s frigid waters, ranging across the North Atlantic and North Pacific, particularly around Canada, Greenland, Russia, and Norway's Svalbard archipelago. They are known for their social behavior, forming large colonies on ice floes and rocky shores. This lithograph, created by C.C. G. Zool. and printed by La Haye & J. L. G. V., serves as a valuable piece of natural history documentation. The rendering of the walrus’s textured skin and icy habitat demonstrates the artist’s keen attention to zoological accuracy. It is an ideal addition for collectors of marine wildlife prints, Arctic animal studies, and 19th-century scientific illustrations. Keywords: 19th Century, Lithograph, Natural History, Arctic Wildlife, Walrus, Marine Mammals, Odobenus Rosmarus, Scientific Illustration, Antique Print, Taxonomy, Marine Biology, Netherlands, La Haye, J.L.G.V. --- Condition Summary: This print is in good condition, with slight age-related toning and minor foxing, primarily along the margins. The fine lithographic details of the walruses’ thick skin, facial features, and icy surroundings remain sharp and well-defined. Some minor irregularities from past binding are visible but do not detract from the overall presentation. A well-preserved and collectible piece. Framing Tips: For an elegant display, an acid-free mat in soft white or icy blue will enhance the Arctic theme of the print. A dark wooden or silver frame will create contrast, highlighting the walruses' distinctive features. UV-protective glass is recommended to prevent fading over time. If displayed alongside other marine or Arctic wildlife lithographs, consistent framing will create a sophisticated and cohesive arrangement.
