EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the Atlantic Seawolf or Striped Sea Wolf, Anarhichas lupus, a unique and intriguing marine species. Drawn and engraved by the renowned naturalist Edward Donovan for his "Natural History of British Fishes," published by Donovan and Rivington in London between 1802 and 1808, this illustration captures the fish's distinctive features with remarkable detail and accuracy. The Atlantic Seawolf, also known as the Striped Catfish or the Striped Sea Catfish, is a large, elongated fish found in the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans. It is characterized by its striking vertical stripes, which provide excellent camouflage among the rocks and seaweed in its environment. With a length of up to 120 centimeters and a weight of up to 15 kilograms, this powerful predator is an apex species in its ecosystem. The Atlantic Seawolf is an important figure in the realm of ichthyology and zoology, contributing to the scientific understanding of marine life during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. This illustration is a testament to the meticulous work of Edward Donovan and the advancements in scientific illustration during this period. The intricate details of the fish's scales, fins, and gill covers are rendered with precision and artistry, making this a valuable addition to any collection of historical marine life illustrations.
