On Gallé’s Polar Animals Again: a short note on the Seals glass series by Louis Hestaux for Émile Gallé (1900)

Résumé

In my previous article, on the Penguins' series by the Établissements Gallé, I made the point that it belonged to the larger theme of Polar animals that could be related to Charcot’s expeditions in the 1920s and 1930s. Among the Gallé artwork I presented to support this hypothesis was a set of nesting tables, whose three tabletops feature each one of the three animals that could be related to the Polar explorations, i.e., from the biggest to the smallest, the Bears, the Polar Seals and the Seagulls.
