EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored copperplate engraving, taken from Gottlieb Tobias Wilhelm's Encyclopedia of Natural History: Fish, published in Augsburg, Germany, in 1804, depicts an intriguing scene of traditional tuna fishing and the catching of horse mackerel. The image, created after a work by Jacob Nilson, showcases a group of skilled fishermen in small boats, expertly maneuvering their vessels to herd a school of tuna towards the shallow waters near the shore. As the large, powerful fish approach, other fishermen wade into the water, ready to catch them using hooks and ropes. Meanwhile, in the foreground, a horse is seen pulling a large net, which has been laid out on the sandy beach. The horse mackerel, or Trachurus trachurus, are swimming just offshore, providing an ample supply for the fishermen to catch using hooks. The intricate details of the engraving reveal the precision and artistry of the time, while also highlighting the collaboration and teamwork required for such a fishing method. Gottlieb Tobias Wilhelm, a Bavarian clergyman and naturalist, was a significant figure in the field of ichthyology during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. His meticulously researched and beautifully illustrated encyclopedia of fish remains an invaluable resource for understanding the natural history of various marine creatures. This image of tuna fishing and horse mackerel is a testament to Wilhelm's dedication to documenting the natural world and the traditional methods used to harvest its resources.
