EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored copperplate engraving is a captivating representation of three unique marine creatures: the Lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus), the Sea Snail (Liparis liparis), and the Atlantic Spiny Lumpsucker (Eumicrotremus spinosus). The image is taken from Gottlieb Tobias Wilhelm's Encyclopedia of Natural History: Fish, published in Augsburg in 1804. Wilhelm, a Bavarian clergyman and naturalist, was an influential figure in the scientific community of his time, earning the moniker "German Buffon" for his extensive work in the field of natural history. This engraving showcases his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the intricacies of these fascinating marine creatures. The Lumpfish, also known as the Cyclostome Lumpfish, is a small, eel-like fish with a distinctive, flat head and a cycloid scale pattern. It is found in the North Atlantic and Arctic oceans and is known for its ability to live in extreme cold temperatures. The Sea Snail, or Liparis, is not actually a snail but rather a small, deep-water fish. It is characterized by its elongated body and large, bulbous eyes. The Sea Snail is a common sight in the deep waters of the Atlantic and Arctic oceans. The Atlantic Spiny Lumpsucker is a small, spiny fish that is found in the North Atlantic and Arctic oceans. It is easily recognizable by its distinctive, round body and its spiny dorsal and pectoral fins. The Atlantic Spiny Lumpsucker is an important food source for many marine predators and is also used as a bait fish in commercial fisheries. This beautiful engraving is a testament to Wilhelm's dedication to documenting the natural world and serves as a reminder of the rich biodiversity of the world's oceans.
