EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving from the 19th century showcases a mesmerizing creature of the deep sea - the Squid. Created by an unknown French artist, this print is part of a renowned publication called "A Dictionnaire pittoresque d'histoire naturelle et des phénomènes de la nature" published between 1833 and 1839 by Felix Edouard Guérin-Méneville. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring this marine marvel to life, allowing us to appreciate its unique beauty. The squid's elongated body gracefully twists and turns, while its tentacles extend outward in a display of elegance and power. Its large eyes seem to hold secrets of the mysterious ocean depths. Accompanying this remarkable cephalopod are various other species mentioned in the dictionary, including flies such as Kalmar, Aasfliege, Fleischfliege, Chimäre (Chimera), and fishes like Calmar (squid) and Callorhynque (elephant fish). This illustration not only captures the essence of these creatures but also serves as a valuable scientific resource for studying their characteristics. Preserved within a private collection today, this historical artwork offers us a glimpse into the natural world as seen through the eyes of talented artists centuries ago. It reminds us of our fascination with nature's wonders and encourages us to explore further into its mysteries.
