EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Strange Fish" takes us on a mesmerizing journey into the depths of the ocean. Created by an anonymous German School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases a variety of peculiar and enchanting marine creatures. From left to right, we encounter the Orinoko Cichla, with its vibrant scales shimmering under the water's surface. Next is the Sogo or Eichhörnchenfisch, resembling a playful squirrelfish with its unique markings and lively demeanor. The Schrätzer follows suit, showcasing its intricate patterns and small scales that seem to dance across its body. But it is the kleinschuppige or blue Drachenkopf that truly captures our attention. With its striking blue hue contrasting against darker shades, this dragon-like fish exudes an air of mystery and allure. Published in Friedrich Justin Bertuch's "Bilderbuch für Kinder" (Picture Book for Children) between 1790-1830, this artwork transports us back to a time when exploration and discovery were at their peak. It serves as a testament to humanity's fascination with nature's wonders. Now preserved in a private collection but made accessible through ePurix Verlag Volker Christen and Bridgeman Images' efforts, this black scorpionfish reminds us of both our curiosity about wildlife and our responsibility to protect these extraordinary creatures for generations to come.
