EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sticklebacks and Their Nests" takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing the wonders of nature. The image, a colour lithograph by E. H. Fitchew, captures an extraordinary moment in stickleback history. In this historical snapshot, we witness the marvels of these tiny fish as they diligently build their nests in fresh water. The vibrant red hues of their bodies stand out against the backdrop, making them truly unusual and eye-catching. Male sticklebacks take on the role of nest builders and guards while females lay their eggs within these carefully constructed homes. The male stickleback's throat becomes an odd yet wonderful sight as it fans its fins and tail to create currents around the nest. This unique behavior showcases their dedication as diligent builders and protectors. As we delve into this image from Marvels of the Universe (Hutchinson, c 1912), we are reminded of the strange yet amazing creatures that inhabit our world. Sticklebacks have hatched countless generations within these nests throughout history - a testament to their resilience and adaptability. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this slice of natural history for us to admire and appreciate today. It serves as a reminder that even in small creatures like sticklebacks lie wonders waiting to be discovered if only we take a closer look at our universe's intricate tapestry.
