EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored copperplate print showcases the Common Sole or Dover Sole, Solea solea (previously known as Pleuronectes solea), a flatfish species native to the North Atlantic and North Sea. The intricate details of this fish's anatomy are beautifully rendered in this illustration, drawn and engraved by Edward Donovan for his seminal work, "The Natural History of British Fishes," published by Donovan and Rivington in London between 1802 and 1808. The Common Sole is a flatfish of commercial and culinary importance, with a flat, oval body and a uniformly grayish-brown coloration on both sides. Its eyes are situated on the right side of its body, while the left eye is covered and camouflaged, allowing the fish to blend seamlessly into its sandy or muddy habitat on the ocean or river floors. The Common Sole is a valuable target for fisheries due to its delicate, white, edible flesh, which has a mild, sweet taste and a tender texture. This fish is an essential component of traditional European cuisine, particularly in the British Isles, where it is often served with a lemon butter sauce or encrusted in flour and fried. This stunning illustration is a testament to the scientific curiosity and artistic skill of the early 19th century, providing a window into the natural world and the meticulous process of documenting the wonders of the marine realm.
