Perch, 1842 This image, dated 1842, showcases a freshwater Perch fish (Perca fluviatilis) from the family Percidae, a popular gamefish in Europe and North America during the Victorian era. The Perch is known for its distinctive coloration, with a greenish-brown back, silver sides, and vibrant red or orange spots. The early 1800s marked a significant period in the appreciation of angling and the pursuit of various gamefish species, including the Perch. The Victorian era, in particular, saw a surge in interest in angling and the publication of numerous books and articles on the subject. This exquisite print, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past, revealing the beauty and allure of the Perch that captivated anglers and naturalists alike during the 1840s. The intricate details of the fish's scales and fin rays are captured in stunning detail, making it an essential addition to any collection of historical fish prints or angling memorabilia. Moreover, this image serves as a reminder of the rich natural history and the appreciation for the natural world that characterized the Victorian era. The Perch, with its striking appearance and fighting spirit, continues to be a beloved gamefish and a source of inspiration for anglers and nature enthusiasts today.
