EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate print showcases the Atlantic cod, Gadus morhua, a vital and iconic marine species that has long been a staple of the North Atlantic fisheries. The Atlantic cod is a large, robust fish, with a distinctive, mottled grayish-brown body adorned with dark spots and wavy, blue-green lines. This illustration, drawn and engraved by Edward Donovan for his Natural History of British Fishes, published between 1802 and 1808, is a testament to the intricate detail and artistry of the ichthyological and zoological studies of the time. The Atlantic cod is a highly adaptable and migratory fish, inhabiting both fresh and saltwater environments. It is found in the North Atlantic Ocean and in the rivers and seas around Europe and North America. Historically, the species has been an essential food source for coastal communities, particularly in Europe, where it has been fished for centuries. However, the Atlantic cod population has been declining in recent decades due to overfishing and other environmental pressures. In 2010, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) listed the Atlantic cod as a vulnerable species, highlighting the need for sustainable fishing practices and conservation efforts to ensure the long-term survival of this important species. This beautiful and intricately detailed print serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the natural world and the role that science and art can play in documenting and understanding the natural history of our planet.
