EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Strange fish from the family of the seabass" takes us on a journey into the depths of the ocean. Created by an anonymous German artist in the 19th century, this print showcases a variety of unique and fascinating sea creatures. The image features several distinct species, each with its own remarkable characteristics. From left to right, we encounter the bandit-like bristlefish, followed by the common pomotis or sunfish. Next is the sparus-like stinging tail or peacock bass and then we have the Japanese priacanthus. These fish are identified as Cirrhites fasciatus, Pomotis vulgaris, Centrarchus sparoides, and Priacanthus japonicus respectively. The intricate details captured in this engraving bring these underwater inhabitants to life. The pumpkinseed's vibrant colors contrast beautifully with the redbarred hawkfish's striking patterns. Meanwhile, both longfinned bullseye and flier exhibit their graceful forms amidst an enchanting marine backdrop. Published in Friedrich Justin Bertuch's "Picture Book for Children" between 1790-1830, this artwork has stood the test of time as a testament to humanity's fascination with nature's wonders. Through this mesmerizing composition filled with wildlife diversity and delicate engravings techniques, viewers can appreciate not only these strange fish but also gain a deeper understanding of our planet's rich biodiversity beneath its waves.
