EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1864 showcases the exquisite beauty of two fish species, Atherina presbyter and Atherina boyeri. Also known as Silverside, Smelt, Sand Smelt, Big-Scale Sand Smelt, Boiers Atherine, these marine creatures have been captured in their natural habitat with remarkable precision. The Victorian era was a time when nature and its wonders were greatly appreciated and studied. This photograph is a testament to that fascination with the natural world. The intricate details of these small silver fish are brought to life through this historical image. Atherina presbyter and Atherina boyeri belong to the clupeidae family and are commonly referred to as sprat or brisling. Their delicate features make them an important part of European marine life. In fact, they are often associated with whitebait due to their young age. The monochrome aesthetic of this print adds a touch of elegance while highlighting the fine scales and graceful curves of these fascinating creatures. It serves as a reminder of our rich natural history and the importance of preserving such diverse species for future generations. This print by Mary Evans Prints Online offers us a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate both the artistic value and scientific significance it holds. Let it inspire you to explore more about these enchanting fish species that have graced our oceans for centuries.
