EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored engraving by Fournier, after an illustration by Oudart from Charles d'Orbigny's "Dictionnaire Universel d'Histoire Naturelle" (Universal Dictionary of Natural History), takes us back to the 19th century. The print showcases the exquisite beauty and vulnerability of two distinct fish species - the Silver salmon (Salmo salar) and Salmo hamatus, alongside the common carp (Cyprinus carpio). The intricate details captured in this artwork transport us into a world where these aquatic creatures come alive on paper. Each stroke of color breathes life into their scales, fins, and delicate features. The artist's skillful rendering allows us to appreciate the unique characteristics that define each species. However, beyond its aesthetic appeal lies a deeper message about conservation. Both the Silver salmon and Salmo hamatus are classified as vulnerable species due to various environmental factors threatening their populations. This engraving serves as a reminder of our responsibility to protect these magnificent creatures for future generations. The historical significance of this print is also noteworthy. Created in Paris in 1849 as part of Charles d'Orbigny's comprehensive natural history encyclopedia, it represents a time when scientific exploration was at its peak. It stands as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with nature and our desire to document its wonders. Alamy has preserved this remarkable piece of artistry for all enthusiasts who appreciate both artistic mastery and ecological awareness. As we gaze upon this image, let it inspire us not only to admire but also take action towards safeguarding our planet's biodiversity – ensuring that vulnerable species like these continue to grace our waters for years to come.
