EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving is a beautiful representation of the European Perch, Perca fluviatilis, as depicted in Edward Donovan's Natural History of British Fishes published between 1802 and 1808. Donovan, an Irish naturalist and artist, meticulously drew and engraved each fish species in this comprehensive work, showcasing their unique features and intricate patterns. The Perch, also known as the European Perch or Common Perch, is a freshwater fish native to Europe and western Asia. It is a popular game fish and is highly valued for its culinary delights. The Perch in this illustration is depicted with vibrant colors, displaying its distinctive vertical bars and a prominent dorsal fin. This illustration is a testament to the scientific exploration and documentation of the natural world during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The intricate details and lifelike rendition of the Perch reflect the high level of skill and dedication of Edward Donovan and the team behind the publication of the Natural History of British Fishes. The copperplate engraving process, which involved creating an image on a copper plate using a burin and then transferring the image to paper using ink, was a popular method for producing high-quality illustrations during this period. The hand-coloring added an additional layer of detail and realism, making each print a unique work of art. This illustration of the Perch is not only an important historical document in the field of ichthyology and zoology but also a stunning piece of art that continues to captivate viewers with its intricate details and lifelike representation of this fascinating fish species.
