EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, dating back to 1864, showcases the European Plaice or Pleuronectes platessa, a fascinating flatfish species native to the North Atlantic and North Sea. The European Plaice is characterized by its greenish-brownish background color, overlaid with a mosaic of orange spots and irregular, darker spots. The fish's unique flat body and one eye on each side, adapted for living on the seabed, are clearly visible in this photograph. The European Plaice was a common sight in Victorian era seaside communities, where it was admired for its intricate and striking appearance. During this time, natural history was a popular area of study and exploration, and the collection and documentation of various species was a source of great interest and fascination. This photograph, taken in the 1860s, offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the natural beauty and diversity of marine life during this era. The European Plaice continues to be an essential part of marine ecosystems and remains a subject of scientific interest and conservation efforts today. This image serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and protecting our natural world for future generations to enjoy and learn from.
