EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the year 1865, showcases a freshwater Anguilla anguilla, also known as the Dublin Eel or European eel. The Anguilla anguilla is a unique and fascinating species of eel that spends most of its life in the Atlantic and North Seas, but travels to freshwater to breed. During the Victorian era, the 1860s in particular, there was great interest in natural history and the documentation of various species. This photograph is a testament to that era's curiosity and passion for the natural world. The Anguilla anguilla, with its long, slender body and vibrant green color, is beautifully captured in this image. Its elongated shape and serene expression make it appear almost otherworldly, as if it were a creature from a fairy tale. The Dublin Eel is native to Europe and is an important part of Irish folklore and history. It is believed that the eels in the River Liffey in Dublin, Ireland, were the inspiration for the name "Dublin Eel." The eels would swim upstream to the river to breed, and their presence was a significant event in the local community. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing us with a window into the natural history of the Anguilla anguilla and the fascination it held for people during the Victorian era. The image is a reminder of the importance of preserving and documenting the natural world for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
