EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving titled "Strange fish from the Ganges" takes us on a visual journey into the depths of the Indian river. Created by an anonymous German artist in the 19th century, this print is part of a collection called A Bilderbuch fAor KinderA (Picture Book for Children) published by Friedrich Justin Bertuch. The image showcases a variety of peculiar and exotic fish species found in the Ganges River. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring these aquatic creatures to life, allowing us to marvel at their unique features. Among them are the Corsula or Indian goldspot mullet, Parsia, Cuja, Pama croaker, and Culius. Each fish has its own distinct characteristics that make it stand out in this underwater tableau. From the shimmering scales of the Corsula to the elongated body shape of Culius, every detail has been meticulously captured by the skilled hand of the artist. This engraving not only serves as an artistic masterpiece but also educates viewers about lesser-known species inhabiting one of India's most sacred rivers. It invites us to appreciate nature's diversity and reminds us that there is always more beneath the surface than meets our eyes. Displayed proudly in private collections around the world, this print continues to inspire awe and curiosity among art enthusiasts and nature lovers alike.
