EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored steel engraving depicts the Wolf Fish, scientifically known as Hoplias malabaricus, also referred to as the Tiger Fish or Trahira. The image is taken from Robert Schomburgk's "Fishes of Guiana," which was published as part of Sir William Jardine's Naturalists Library: Ichthyology in Edinburgh in 1841. The illustration was produced by James Stewart and engraved by W.H. Lizars. The Wolf Fish is a large, powerful catfish native to the rivers and tributaries of South America. It is characterized by its distinctive coloration, which features vertical bars and spots that resemble a tiger's pattern. The fish can grow up to 1 meter in length and weigh as much as 15 kilograms. The Wolf Fish is an apex predator in its aquatic habitat, feeding on a variety of prey, including smaller fish, crustaceans, and mollusks. It is an important species in the ecosystem and plays a crucial role in maintaining the balance of the food chain. The intricate detail and vibrant colors of this engraving showcase the beauty and complexity of the Wolf Fish. The use of hand-coloring adds an additional layer of artistry to the image, making it a valuable historical record of this fascinating species. This engraving is a testament to the remarkable natural history research that was being conducted in the 19th century, and it continues to be a source of inspiration for those interested in ichthyology and the natural world.
