EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored steel engraving, titled "Perche, Peripate, Perle, Perne," showcases a diverse assemblage of aquatic and terrestrial creatures from the natural world. The European Perch (Perca fluviatilis), depicted in the center, is a freshwater fish native to Europe. Its vibrant colors and distinctive markings make it a popular game fish and a staple in European waters. To the left of the Perch, the Velvet Worm (Peripatus iuliformis) can be found. This intriguing creature is not a worm but rather a type of annelid, belonging to the class Oligochaeta. It is commonly found in damp habitats and is known for its unique appearance, which includes velvety, fringed appendages that help it move around on land. In the upper right corner, a Lacewing (Perla marginata) graces the image. This delicate insect is a common species of stonefly, found in freshwater habitats. Adult Lacewings are known for their beautiful, transparent wings and intricate patterns on their bodies. Finally, in the lower right corner, a Pearl Oyster (Isognomon isognomum) is shown. This mollusk is a filter feeder, found in shallow, muddy waters. It is known for its ability to produce pearls, which have been prized for their beauty and value throughout history. This stunning engraving, created by du Casse after an illustration by Adolph Fries, is a testament to the rich biodiversity of the natural world. It was originally published in Felix-Edouard Guerin-Meneville's "Dictionnaire Pittoresque d'Histoire Naturelle" (Picturesque Dictionary of Natural History) between 1834 and 1839. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this print continue to captivate and inspire appreciation for the natural world today.
