EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a plate extracted from the renowned "Natural History" by Bernard Germain de Lacepede, a prominent figure in the field during the 19th century. The plate features three fascinating aquatic creatures - the pike (Esox Lucius), the eel (Anguilla Anguilla), and the perch (Perca Fluviatilis). Each fish is meticulously depicted with vibrant colors, capturing their unique beauty. The pike, known for its elongated body and sharp teeth, exudes power and elegance as it glides through the water. The eel, with its sinuous form and mysterious nature, evokes curiosity and intrigue. Lastly, the perch stands out with its striking patterned scales that shimmer under sunlight. This engraving not only serves as an aesthetic delight but also provides valuable insights into zoology and natural history. It allows us to appreciate these remarkable species while deepening our understanding of their characteristics and habitats. The delicate craftsmanship of this botanical plate reflects both artistic skill and scientific precision. Its inclusion in de Lacepede's comprehensive work signifies its importance within the realm of natural sciences during that era. Through this photograph captured by Jaime Abecasis, we are transported back to 1857 Paris when P. Furme published this edition of "Natural History". This image invites us to explore France's rich biodiversity while appreciating historical scientific endeavors that continue to shape our knowledge today.
