EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored copperplate engraving, taken from Gottlieb Tobias Wilhelm's Encyclopedia of Natural History: Fish, published in Augsburg in 1804, showcases an intriguing assembly of various marine species. The engraving features five distinct fish: the Rainbow Wrasse (Coris julis, number 30), Argus Wrasse (Halichoeres argus, number 31), Brown Meagre (Sciaena umbra, number 32), and Shi Drum (Umbrina cirrosa, number 33). The Rainbow Wrasse, also known as the Blue-line Goby, is a vibrant and colorful fish native to the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Its scales display a rainbow-like pattern, making it a popular target for aquarium enthusiasts. Argus Wrasse, also known as the Three-spot Wrasse, is a small, colorful fish with distinctive markings. It is native to the western Atlantic Ocean and is known for its territorial behavior and unique mating rituals. Brown Meagre, also known as the European Seabass, is a large, brownish-gray fish found in the Mediterranean and North Atlantic. It is a popular game fish and is highly regarded for its excellent taste. Shi Drum, also known as the Silver Drum or Shad Drum, is a small, silver-colored fish found in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. It is a bottom-dwelling fish and is an important food source for larger marine species. This intricately detailed engraving, created by the skilled hand of Jacob Nilson, provides a captivating glimpse into the natural world of the early 19th century. Wilhelm, a Bavarian clergyman and naturalist, was a pioneer in ichthyology, and his encyclopedia remains an essential reference for marine fish species to this day.
