EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite Armored Catfish, a masterpiece of the German School from the 19th century. The artwork is part of a private collection and was originally published in Leopold Joseph Fitzinger's "Bilder-Atlas zur wissenschaftlich-populAaren Naturgeschichte der Fische in ihren sAammtlichen HauptformenA" in 1864. The image portrays two distinct species: the common armored catfish or soldier (Der gemeine Harnisch Wels oder Soldat) and the common flathead or plate fish (Der gemeine Plattkopf oder Tellerfisch). These magnificent creatures are beautifully illustrated with intricate details, showcasing their unique characteristics. The scientific names Callichthys cataphractes, Callichthys cataphractus, Callichthys callichthys, and Platystacus cotylephorus represent these mesmerizing specimens. Their mottled eel-tailed banjo-like appearance adds to their allure. This illustration not only captures the beauty of these armored catfish but also serves as a testament to the rich history of natural history illustrations. It allows us to appreciate the artistic skill and dedication that went into documenting various forms of wildlife during that era. Displayed by Bridgeman Images through Fine Art Finder, this print invites viewers into a world where art meets science. It reminds us of our fascination with nature's wonders and encourages us to explore further into its mysteries.
