EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by Plee Sr. after an original illustration by Jean-Gabriel Pretre, showcases a captivating underwater scene from the Natural History of Oviparous Quadrupeds, Snakes, Fish and Cetaceans by Bernard Germain de Lacepede, published in Paris in 1825. The engraving highlights several intriguing marine species, including the Narrow-barred Spanish Mackerel (Scomberomorus commerson), also known as the Scombre or Guare, and the Torpedo Scad (Megalaspis cordyla), or the Blue-spotted Scad. These two fish are depicted swimming gracefully among the waves, their vibrant scales shimmering in the light. The engraving also features the majestic Atlantic Bluefin Tuna (Thunnus thynnus), an endangered species, swimming powerfully through the water. The Bluefin Tuna, also known as the Thon or Tonne, is a highly prized game fish and is recognized for its large size and speed. The intricate details of their scales, fins, and body shapes are beautifully captured in this exquisite work of art. The natural history illustration provides a glimpse into the rich marine biodiversity of the past, showcasing the beauty and complexity of these fascinating creatures. This engraving is not only a testament to the artistic skill of the time but also serves as an important record of the natural world, reminding us of the importance of preserving and protecting marine life for future generations.
