EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Strange trading fish" takes us back to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into the world of marine life. The print showcases an assortment of remarkable fish species, each with its own unique characteristics and allure. The composition features four distinct types of fish: the majestic salmon or salm, the powerful tuna or thunfisch, the abundant herring or clupea harengus, and the graceful mackerel or scomber scombrus. Each creature is meticulously depicted in vibrant colors that bring their beauty to life. As we observe this artwork from a private collection, we are transported to a time when natural history illustrations were highly valued for their educational purposes. This particular print was originally part of Friedrich Justin Bertuch's renowned "Bilderbuch für Kinder" (Picture Book for Children), published between 1790 and 1830. The attention to detail in this engraving is truly remarkable; it captures not only the physical attributes but also conveys a sense of movement within these underwater creatures. It serves as a reminder of our planet's diverse wildlife and encourages us to appreciate nature's wonders. This image by Bridgeman Images allows us to admire these fascinating trading fish while immersing ourselves in artistry that transcends time. Whether you are an animal lover, art enthusiast, or simply someone who appreciates beauty in all its forms, this print will undoubtedly captivate your imagination.
