EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate stipple engraving captures the intricate details of two fascinating marine species - the Spiny dogfish and the catshark. The Spiny dogfish, also known as Squalus acanthias, is a small shark with distinctive spines along its dorsal fins. Its sleek body and sharp teeth make it a formidable predator in the ocean. On the other hand, the catshark, or Tigree redfish (Scyliorhinus canicula), is a smaller, more docile species known for its cat-like eyes and slender body.
Created by renowned natural historian and doctor of medicine Hippolyte Cloquet, this illustration is part of Jussieu's "Dictionary of Natural Sciences" from 1816-1830. The talented artist J.G. Pretre meticulously captured the essence of these creatures, while Forestier skillfully engraved the image on copperplate. The final result is a work of art that showcases both scientific accuracy and aesthetic beauty.
As you admire this print, take a moment to appreciate the wonders of marine life and the dedication of those who study and document it. From the depths of the sea to your hands, this piece serves as a reminder of nature's diversity and complexity. Let it inspire you to explore further into the mysteries that lie beneath our oceans' surface.
