EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic beauty of an adult male Atlantic Salmon in its breeding state. The hand-coloured engraving, created by the Scottish School in the 19th century, captures every intricate detail of this remarkable creature. With a size of 50x69.5 cm, it commands attention and draws viewers into its world. The open mouth of the salmon reveals its vibrant pink hue, enhancing the overall visual impact of the image. The close-up perspective allows us to appreciate the fine craftsmanship involved in creating this piece. Published in Edinburgh between 1839 and 1841, this artwork is part of a series called "British Salmonidae". Engraved by W. H. Lizars after Sir William Jardine's original work, it exemplifies both technical skill and artistic vision. The absence of any human presence emphasizes nature's grandeur and highlights our connection with wildlife. This print transports us to a time when hand colouring was used to bring life to images before photography became prevalent. With its rich history and meticulous detailing, this print serves as a testament to our fascination with animals and their place within our world. It reminds us that even centuries ago, artists sought to capture nature's wonders for future generations to admire.
