EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, dated 1862, showcases the elegant and enigmatic form of the Prionace glauca, or blue shark. A striking representative of the requiem shark family, this magnificent creature graced the depths of the world's oceans during the Victorian era. The Prionace glauca, with its vibrant, iridescent blue back and silver-white underbelly, is a true marvel of the natural world. Its streamlined body, adorned with distinctive dorsal and pectoral fins, is perfectly designed for swift and agile movement through the water. During the 1860s, the discovery and documentation of new and exotic species, including the blue shark, fueled a growing fascination with the natural world. This photograph, taken over a century and a half ago, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when such discoveries were a source of wonder and inspiration. The blue shark is a pelagic, or open-ocean, species, found in temperate and tropical waters worldwide. It is a highly migratory and fast-swimming predator, capable of reaching speeds of up to 35 miles per hour. Despite its formidable appearance, the blue shark is not considered a threat to humans, and its population is currently listed as near threatened by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). This evocative image serves as a reminder of the rich and diverse marine life that exists beneath the waves, and the importance of preserving and protecting these precious ecosystems for future generations to enjoy.
