EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Stunning Handcoloured Copperplate Engraving of the Pollack, Pollachius pollachius, from Edward Donovan's Natural History of British Fishes This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving showcases the Pollack, Pollachius pollachius, also known as the Whiting Pollack, Gadus pollachius, or simply Pollock. The illustration is taken from Edward Donovan's Natural History of British Fishes, published by Donovan and F.C. and J. Rivington in London between 1802 and 1808. Donovan's Natural History of British Fishes is a seminal work in the field of ichthyology and zoology, documenting over 600 species of fish native to the British Isles. The meticulously detailed engravings, like this one, were produced using the copperplate technique, which involved drawing the image on copper plates, etching the lines, and then hand-colouring each print to bring the fish to life. The Pollack is a large, predatory fish found in the North Atlantic and North Sea. It is characterized by its distinctive, iridescent blue-green back, silver sides, and large, round pectoral fins. The Pollack is a popular game fish and is highly regarded for its excellent flavour and texture. This stunning illustration not only serves as a testament to Donovan's artistic skill but also provides valuable insights into the natural history of this fascinating species. The intricate details of the Pollack's anatomy, scales, and fins are all captured with remarkable accuracy, making this a must-have for any collection focused on marine life, oceanography, or the history of science.
