EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Gathering of European Freshwater Giants: Whitefish, Char, Danube Salmon, and Grayling" 2. Description: This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving, created by Henriette Dorothea Westermayr for Friedrich Johann Bertuch's "Bilderbuch fur Kinder" (Picture Book for Children) published in Weimar, Germany, in 1798, showcases an impressive collection of European freshwater fish species. The engraving features four distinct fish: the Whitefish (Coregonus lavaretus), Char (Salvelinus species), Danube Salmon (Hucho hucho), and Grayling (Thymallus thymallus). 3. Whitefish (1): The Whitefish, also known as the European whitefish or lake whitefish, is a large, deep-bodied fish with a silver-white color. It is a popular game fish and an essential food source for many communities in Europe. 4. Char (2): Char, represented by two species in this engraving, are freshwater fish belonging to the Salmonidae family. They are characterized by their distinctive spotted patterns and are prized for their sport fishing value. 5. Danube Salmon (3): The Danube Salmon, also known as the European Huchen or European Salmon, is a large, migratory fish that is critically endangered. It is one of the largest freshwater fish species in Europe and is a popular game fish. 6. Grayling (4): The Grayling is a medium-sized fish with a silver body and distinctive black spots. It is a popular game fish and is known for its beautiful, colorful fins. 7. Historical Significance: This engraving is a testament to the rich ichthyological knowledge of the late 18th century. The intricate details and vibrant colors showcase the artist's skill and dedication to accurately depicting these fish species. 8. Conservation: Today, several of the fish species depicted in this engraving, such as the Danube Salmon, are endangered and require conservation efforts to protect their populations. This engraving serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving Europe's rich biodiversity.
