EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored copperplate engraving depicts the Sterlet Sturgeon, Acipenser ruthenus, a rare and precious freshwater fish species native to Europe. The Sterlet Sturgeon is a small sturgeon species, with adults growing up to 1 meter in length and weighing up to 15 kg. This engraving, taken from Gottlieb Tobias Wilhelm's Encyclopedia of Natural History: Fish, published in Augsburg in 1804, provides an exquisite and detailed representation of the Sterlet's anatomy, both from the top (image 29) and the underside (image 30). Gottlieb Tobias Wilhelm (1758-1811), a Bavarian clergyman and naturalist, was a renowned figure in the scientific community of his time. He is often referred to as the German Buffon, in recognition of his significant contributions to the field of ichthyology. This engraving is a testament to Wilhelm's meticulous attention to detail and his dedication to documenting the natural world. The Sterlet Sturgeon is an important species in the sturgeon family, known for its valuable roe, or caviar. However, this engraving does not focus on its commercial value but rather celebrates its natural beauty and significance in the natural world. The intricate lines and delicate shading in this engraving bring the Sterlet Sturgeon to life, allowing us to appreciate its unique features and appreciate its role in the marine ecosystem.
