Antique Print of Two Sea Lions on the Shore of Juan Fernandes by Anson, '1749'

About the Item

Antique print titled 'A Sea-Lion and Lioness'. Original antique print of two sea lions on the shore of Juan Fernandes Island in the South Pacific Ocean. It was sketched either by Commodore George Anson or one of the crew from his ship, the Centurion. When the early navigators and explorers came back to London after their voyages, they brought back sketches of the natives, animals and plants seen during their stop-overs on the islands and coasts of the newly explored regions of the world. The sketches tended to be fanciful and represented a sailor's impression of an unknown and never before seen animal, such as these sea lions on the beach. This print originates from 'Reize rondsom de Werreld (..)' by George Anson, published 1749.
