EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving, taken from Friedrich Johann Bertuch's Bilderbuch fur Kinder (Picture Book for Children), published in Weimar in 1792, showcases an intriguing collection of Atlantic salmon (1, Salmo salar), tuna (2, Thunnus species), Atlantic herring (3, Clupea harengus), and Atlantic mackerel (4, Scomber scombrus). The meticulous attention to detail in the engraving brings each fish to life, revealing their unique characteristics and beauty. The Atlantic salmon, with its distinctive red and green coloration, is a prized game fish and an essential species for many ecosystems. The tuna, a powerful and fast-swimming fish, is known for its lean, delicious meat and is a staple in various cuisines around the world. Atlantic herring and Atlantic mackerel are both important forage fish, playing a crucial role in the food chain. Herring are small, silver fish with a distinctive black spot on their side, while mackerel are larger and have a more elongated body. Both species are rich in omega-3 fatty acids and are popular sources of food for humans and other marine animals. This enchanting illustration not only showcases the natural history of these fascinating fish but also serves as a reminder of the intricate relationships that exist within aquatic ecosystems. The hand-colored copperplate engraving technique, popular during the 18th and 19th centuries, adds an additional layer of beauty and intrigue to the image, making it a true treasure for anyone interested in ichthyology or the natural world.
