EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 1865 print captures the beauty and elegance of the Vendace, or Coregonus vandesius, a freshwater whitefish native to the northern hemisphere. The Vendace is a member of the Salmonidae family, which also includes salmon and trout. This particular specimen is depicted in its prime, with its vibrant yellow and silver scales shimmering in the light. The Vendace was a popular subject for naturalists and artists during the Victorian era, as the 1860s marked a time of increased interest in the natural world. This print is a testament to the fascination and appreciation for the diverse range of species that inhabited the Earth during this period. The Vendace is a cold water fish, found in the clear, cold waters of lakes and rivers in Europe and Asia. It is an important food source for many communities, particularly in Finland, where it is a national symbol and a staple in the local cuisine. Despite its historical significance and continued importance in the natural world, the Vendace faces various threats, including habitat loss, pollution, and overfishing. Conservation efforts are underway to protect this beautiful and historic species, ensuring that future generations can continue to marvel at its beauty and appreciate its role in the natural world. This print offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the natural world was a source of wonder and inspiration. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the natural world for future generations to enjoy and learn from.
