EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored engraving from 1832 showcases "The Perch" as depicted in Eleazar Albin's renowned publication, A Treatise on Fish and Fish-ponds. The intricate detailing of this 18th-century illustration allows us to marvel at the anatomy and body parts of this magnificent creature. The Perch, scientifically known as Perca fluviatilis, is a freshwater fish that has long fascinated both scientists and enthusiasts alike. In this print, we can observe its distinctive spiny fins, which play a crucial role in its locomotion through water. The scales adorning its body shimmer with vibrant colors meticulously added by the skilled artist. Albin's work not only captures the beauty of these organisms but also serves as an invaluable historical record for future generations to appreciate. This particular piece is part of the Historica Graphica Collection, a treasure trove of illustrations showcasing various animals and their anatomical features. As we gaze upon this stunning artwork, it transports us back to a time when scientific discoveries were made through meticulous observation and artistic representation. It reminds us of our enduring fascination with nature's wonders and our desire to understand every aspect of the animal kingdom.
