EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print showcases the exquisite Silver Bream, scientifically known as Blicca bjoerkna, a freshwater fish species that was commonly found in European waters during the Victorian era. Dating back to 1865, this image offers a fascinating glimpse into the natural world of the 1860s. The Silver Bream, also known as White Bream or Breamflat, is a member of the Cyprinidae family, which includes carps and minnows. This fish is characterized by its slender, elongated body, silver scales, and distinctive black spots along its sides. It was a popular target for anglers due to its delicious taste and abundant population in European rivers and lakes. This beautifully detailed print captures the essence of the Silver Bream's natural beauty, with its vibrant colors and intricate patterns. The fish is depicted lying gracefully on a bed of aquatic plants, its gills flaring slightly as if taking a breath. The background is a serene and naturalistic representation of the underwater environment, with a variety of plants and rocks adding to the overall effect. The Victorian era was a time of great fascination with the natural world, and prints like this one played an important role in documenting and preserving the beauty and diversity of the natural world for future generations. Today, this print serves as a reminder of the rich history and natural heritage that exists within our waters and the importance of preserving it for future generations to enjoy.
