EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 1863 print captures the vibrant beauty of the Atlantic Spanish Mackerel, scientifically known as Scomberomorus maculatus. A prized catch for anglers and an essential species in the Atlantic Ocean, the Atlantic Spanish Mackerel is a member of the Scombridae family, specifically the Somberomorini subfamily. The fish in this print is adorned with a striking blue and yellow body, with distinctive vertical stripes and prominent, iridescent spots. These markings serve as excellent camouflage against the ocean floor and the waves, allowing the fish to blend in seamlessly with its surroundings. During the Victorian era, the 1860s, when this print was created, the Atlantic Spanish Mackerel was a popular subject for natural history illustrations. The period was marked by a growing fascination with the natural world and an increasing interest in documenting the diverse marine life of the Atlantic coast. In this print, the Atlantic Spanish Mackerel is depicted in a serene and still pose, lying on a bed of rocks near the shore. The intricate details of its scales and fin rays are beautifully rendered, showcasing the artist's skill and attention to detail. The Atlantic Spanish Mackerel is a highly migratory species, found in the Atlantic Ocean from the Gulf of Mexico to the Mediterranean Sea. It is an important food source for both commercial and recreational fisheries, and its meat is rich in omega-3 fatty acids and other essential nutrients. This print serves as a reminder of the rich marine biodiversity that exists in our oceans and the importance of preserving and protecting these precious ecosystems for future generations to enjoy.
