EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving, titled "The Haddock" is a remarkable piece of art that takes us back to the 19th century. Published in 1832 as part of Eleazar Albin's renowned book, A Treatise on Fish and Fish-ponds, this print showcases the intricate beauty of one of nature's most fascinating creatures. With meticulous attention to detail, Albin captures the essence of the haddock with astonishing precision. The fish's elongated body is adorned with scales that shimmer under the light, while its distinctive lateral line runs gracefully along its side. The haddock's dorsal and anal fins are elegantly depicted, showcasing their unique shape and structure. As we delve deeper into this artwork, our eyes are drawn to the afellus major or barbel protruding from beneath the haddock's chin. This anatomical feature adds an intriguing element to our understanding of this species' physiology. Albin was not only an artist but also an accomplished anatomist who dedicated his life to studying wildlife. Through his engravings like this one, he sought to educate and inspire others about the wonders found within nature. Displayed against a simple background that allows every minute detail to shine through, "The Haddock" stands as a testament to both artistic skill and scientific curiosity. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, we can still marvel at the beauty and complexity present in every living organism.
