EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, dated 1865, showcases the vibrant and intricately patterned Leuciscus idus, also known as the Ide or Orfe, a freshwater fish native to Europe. The Ide is a member of the Cyprinidae family, which includes over 2,000 species of minnows, carps, and related fish. During the Victorian era, natural history was a popular pursuit, and the collection and documentation of new species was a source of great excitement and pride. This beautifully detailed print, with its rich colors and lifelike representation, would have been a prized addition to any natural history enthusiast's collection. The Ide is a medium-sized fish, typically growing to around 20-30 centimeters in length. Its body is a striking combination of olive-green and gold, with distinctive black spots and bars. The fish's most notable feature, however, is the large, bright yellow spot on its side, which can be seen prominently in this print. The Ide is an important species in European freshwater ecosystems, and is a popular game fish. It is also an important food source for humans, and has been cultivated for centuries in Europe and Asia. This print, with its historical significance and exquisite detail, offers a glimpse into the natural world of the past, and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and appreciating the diverse and fascinating creatures that inhabit our planet.
