EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a representation of hematia (red blood cell) found in the salmon and turbot, meticulously studied by the renowned Dutch trader and naturalist Antoine van Leeuwenhoek. Created by an unknown artist in the 18th century, this engraving is part of "Epistolae ad Societatem Regiam Angliam" from 1719. Antoine van Leeuwenhoek, also known as Leeuvenhoek or Leeuwenhoeck, was a visionary scientist who lived between 1632 and 1723. His groundbreaking work in microscopy revolutionized our understanding of anatomy and paved the way for advancements in various fields. In this intricate engraving, we witness Van Leeuwenhoek's keen eye for detail as he delves into the microscopic world within these fish species' red blood cells. The image not only highlights his expertise but also serves as a testament to his dedication to unraveling nature's mysteries. The inclusion of salmon and turbot specifically emphasizes Van Leeuwenhoek's interest in aquatic life forms. Through vivisection techniques, he sought to uncover the intricacies hidden beneath their scales and fins. This artwork offers us a glimpse into both scientific exploration and artistic expression during the 18th century. It symbolizes how knowledge transcends time through its depiction of blood cells—a fundamental aspect of human existence that remains unchanged throughout history. With its rich historical significance encompassing anatomy, wildlife studies, and natural history
