EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored copperplate engraving, drawn and engraved by the renowned naturalist and artist, Richard Polydore Nodder, depicts the Ide or Orfe, scientifically known as Leuciscus idus. The image is taken from George Shaw and Frederick Nodder's The Naturalist's Miscellany, published in London in 1800. The Ide or Orfe is a freshwater fish native to Europe, and is characterized by its vibrant colors and distinctive markings. In this illustration, the fish is depicted in a serene and still position, its scales shimmering with a metallic sheen. The intricate details of the fish's fins and gills are beautifully rendered, showcasing the skill and artistry of the engraver. The background of the print features a lush, green aquatic landscape, complete with various aquatic plants and a rocky outcropping. This exquisite illustration is a testament to the natural history art of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, and provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of zoology and natural history during this time period. The Naturalist's Miscellany was a popular and influential publication, and this image of the Ide or Orfe is a prime example of the high-quality illustrations that graced its pages.
