EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored copperplate engraving is a beautiful representation of the Goldfish, Carassius auratus, a popular ornamental fish species that has captivated humans for centuries. Previously known as the Telescope Carp or Cyprinus Buphthalmus, this fish has undergone various taxonomic reclassifications throughout history. The intricate detail in this engraving, taken from George Shaw and Frederick Nodder's The Naturalist's Miscellany, published in 1792, showcases the Goldfish's distinctive features, including its elongated, telescope-like eyes, which are enlarged to enhance their visual capabilities in the dark aquatic environment. The scales on its body glisten in various shades of gold and red, adding to its allure. The Goldfish is native to East Asia, specifically the Yangtze River basin in China. It was first introduced to Europe in the 1600s and has since become a beloved pet and ornamental species worldwide. The Goldfish's popularity can be attributed to its vibrant colors, ease of care, and ability to adapt to various water conditions. This historical engraving is a testament to the fascination humans have had with the Goldfish for over two centuries. It serves as a reminder of the rich history of ichthyology and the importance of documenting and preserving the natural world through art and science.
