1865 Conger Eels Fishes Morris Species


23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame

FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, dated 1865, showcases two intriguing marine species: the European Conger eel (Conger conger) and the larval form of the Atlantic Hagfish, also known as Morris's Leptocephalus (Leptocephalus morrissii). The European Conger is a large, powerful eel species found in the Atlantic and Mediterranean seas, known for its elongated body and distinctive, serpentine shape. It is a highly sought-after game fish and is also an essential part of the marine food chain. In contrast, the Morris's Leptocephalus is the larval stage of the Atlantic Hagfish, a primitive, slime-coated fish that inhabits the deep, dark waters of the North Atlantic. The larval form, depicted in the image, is quite different from the adult hagfish, with a long, eel-like body and large, wing-like fins. This stage of the hagfish's life cycle is relatively short-lived, and they eventually transform into their adult form, which is characterized by its slime-covered body and lack of scales. The photograph, taken during the Victorian era, offers a fascinating glimpse into the natural history of these two distinct marine species. The European Conger eel and Morris's Leptocephalus represent the diversity and complexity of the marine world, which was just beginning to be explored and understood during this time. This image serves as a reminder of the importance of documenting and preserving the natural world for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
