EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Angle Shark (colour litho)" takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing the remarkable work of the German School. Housed in a private collection, this piece is part of a Bilder-Atlas zur wissenschaftlich-populären Naturgeschichte der Fische in ihren sämtlichen HauptformenA, published in 1864 by Leopold Joseph Fitzinger. The image portrays two fascinating creatures: the common angel shark and the common sawfish. The intricate details captured by the artist bring these underwater beings to life on paper. With vibrant colors and precise lines, every scale and fin seems tangible. The angel shark, scientifically known as Squatina angelus, glides gracefully through its watery domain. Its elegant form exudes both power and tranquility simultaneously. On the other hand, we have Pristis antiquorum - commonly referred to as the common sawfish - with its distinctive long snout adorned with menacing teeth-like projections. This illustration not only showcases nature's beauty but also serves as an educational tool for those interested in studying fish species. It offers a glimpse into our planet's rich biodiversity while reminding us of our responsibility to protect these precious animals and their habitats. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' dedication to preserving historical artwork like this one, we can appreciate and learn from such masterpieces even centuries later.
