EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 1862 print captures the vibrant colors and intricate details of a Pagellus Owenii, or Spanish Bream, a beloved marine species of the Mediterranean Sea. The fish, also known as the Axillary Bream or the Orange-spotted Bream, is depicted in its natural habitat, surrounded by the clear, azure waters of the Victorian era. The Spanish Bream is a popular and important food fish in the Mediterranean region, with a rich, delicate flavor and firm, white flesh. This species, which can grow up to 50 cm in length, is a valuable component of the Mediterranean marine ecosystem and has been a staple of local fisheries for centuries. This exquisite print, created in 1862, offers a glimpse into the natural history of this fascinating fish. The artist meticulously captured the details of the Spanish Bream's orange and yellow fins, its distinctive spots, and its expressive eyes. The print also provides a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the marine life of the 1860s and the scientific curiosity that drove naturalists and artists to document the natural world during this era. The Spanish Bream continues to be an important species in the Mediterranean Sea, and this print serves as a reminder of the beauty and importance of the marine ecosystem and the natural world. It also highlights the rich history of natural history illustration and the role it plays in documenting and preserving the natural world for future generations.
