EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving showcases the beauty and diversity of German river fish, captured by an anonymous 19th-century German artist. The print, part of a private collection, is a remarkable piece from A Bilderbuch fAor KinderA (Picture Book for Children) published between 1790 and 1830 by Friedrich Justin Bertuch. The image features several species of fish found in German rivers, including the Rotauge or PlAotze (roach), Aland or GAose (orfe), Rapfen or Hartkopf (zope), and Zope Fische. Each fish is meticulously illustrated with vibrant colors that bring their unique characteristics to life. From the graceful movements of the roach to the striking patterns adorning the orfe's scales, this engraving captures both the scientific precision and artistic flair typical of natural history illustrations during that era. The intricate details showcased in this print provide viewers with a glimpse into Germany's rich aquatic biodiversity. It serves as a reminder of nature's wonders and invites us to appreciate these often overlooked inhabitants of our rivers. Now preserved by ePurix Verlag Volker Christen, this historical artwork continues to inspire awe and curiosity about our natural world. As we admire this enchanting depiction, let us celebrate not only its aesthetic appeal but also its contribution to scientific knowledge and appreciation for wildlife throughout time.
