EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Porcupine fish, meticulously captured and immortalized by an unknown artist in the 18th century. The original artwork was created after Marc Elieser Bloch's renowned Ichtyologie series, which gained recognition in Paris, Berlin, and London back in 1787. The Porcupine fish is beautifully depicted with intricate details that highlight its unique features. Its spiky exterior serves as a natural defense mechanism against potential predators, making it an intriguing subject for both art enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. This engraving not only captures the essence of this fascinating creature but also represents a significant milestone in the history of natural history studies. It offers us a glimpse into the scientific exploration of wildlife during the 18th century when knowledge about animals was expanding rapidly. Today, this remarkable piece is part of a private collection, cherished for its historical value and artistic merit. Thanks to Giancarlo Costa's efforts to preserve and share this image with the world, we can appreciate the beauty of nature through art while honoring centuries-old discoveries.
