EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Anatomy of a Fish," is an exquisite illustration from Lorenz Oken's Universal Natural History, Allgemeine Naturgeschichte fur alle Stände, published in Stuttgart in 1839. The illustration, created by the skilled hand of St. Schillinger, offers a detailed and intricate view into the internal workings of a fish, revealing its complex anatomy. At the heart of the image lies the fish's skeleton, intricately depicted with its delicate bones arranged in a beautiful pattern. The skeleton is encircled by the fish's internal organs, each labeled with precision, providing a comprehensive understanding of their functions. The liver, spleen, stomach, intestines, and pancreas are clearly visible, showcasing the fish's digestive and metabolic systems. The fish's gills, located towards the bottom of the image, are depicted in stunning detail. These vital organs, essential for fish respiration, are illustrated with their intricate structure, highlighting the delicate filaments that facilitate the exchange of gases between the water and the fish's bloodstream. This illustration is a testament to the meticulous work of St. Schillinger and Lorenz Oken, who dedicated their time and expertise to documenting the natural world in all its complexity. The Anatomy of a Fish serves as an invaluable resource for ichthyologists and biologists, providing a window into the intricacies of fish anatomy and offering insights into the evolutionary relationships between fish and other vertebrates.
