EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured steel engraving, titled "Tiger Sorubim or Striped Platystoma (Pseudoplatystoma tigrinum)," is an exquisite example of the intricate detail and artistry found in the works of Scottish publisher and printer, W.H. Lizars. The image was derived from an original illustration by James Stewart, featured in Robert Schomburgk's seminal work, "Fishes of Guiana," published as part of Sir William Jardine's Naturalists Library: Ichthyology in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1841. The Tiger Sorubim, also known as the Tiger Catfish or the Striped Platystoma, is a large, powerful, and striking freshwater fish native to the tropical waters of South America. With its distinctive tiger-like stripes and elongated, torpedo-shaped body, this impressive species is a formidable inhabitant of the rivers and streams of the Amazon Basin. The meticulous handcolouring of this engraving brings the vibrant colours and patterns of the Tiger Sorubim's scales to life, highlighting the intricacies of its body structure and the delicate details of its fins. The engraving process itself, which involved the use of a sharp tool to incise lines into a metal plate, followed by the application of ink and colour, was a laborious and time-consuming one, requiring great skill and precision. This beautiful and historically significant work is a testament to the artistry and scientific rigour of the natural history illustrators and printmakers of the 19th century, who dedicated themselves to documenting the natural world with unparalleled detail and accuracy. The Tiger Sorubim engraving is a captivating reminder of the rich biodiversity of the Amazon region and the important role that scientific exploration and documentation continue to play in our understanding and appreciation of the natural world.
