EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Spiny dogfish, also known as Squalus acanthias or Picked shark. The image is a handcoloured copperplate engraving created by Edward Donovan for his renowned work, "Natural History of British Fishes" published in London between 1802 and 1808. The Spiny dogfish depicted in this artwork highlights its unique features and intricate details. Its spiky appearance and sleek body make it easily distinguishable from other species. However, despite its fascinating characteristics, the Spiny dogfish is classified as vulnerable due to various environmental factors affecting its population.
