EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Angelshark, a critically endangered species that is both beautiful and elusive. The handcoloured copperplate engraving was created by Edward Donovan for his renowned work, "Natural History of British Fishes" published in London between 1802 and 1808. The intricate details of the engraving bring to life the unique features of this majestic creature. With its flattened body and broad pectoral fins resembling angel wings, the Angelshark glides effortlessly through the ocean depths. Its scientific name, Squatina squatina, reflects its squat appearance and emphasizes its vulnerability as a critically endangered species. Edward Donovan's illustration not only captures the physical characteristics of this remarkable fish but also serves as a reminder of our responsibility to protect and preserve these precious creatures. As we admire this artwork, we are reminded of the importance of conservation efforts to ensure their survival for future generations. Through this image, we are transported back in time to an era when natural history illustrations were highly valued for their scientific accuracy and artistic beauty. It serves as a testament to both Edward Donovan's talent as an artist and his dedication to documenting Britain's diverse marine life. This print is not just a stunning piece of art; it is also a powerful symbol that urges us all to appreciate and safeguard our planet's incredible biodiversity.
