EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored copperplate engraving, taken from Gottlieb Tobias Wilhelm's Encyclopedia of Natural History: Fish, published in Augsburg in 1804, showcases three distinct species of freshwater fish native to European waters: the Sea Trout (Salmo trutta trutta) and the Charr (Salvelinus alpinus alpinus). The Sea Trout, also known as the Brown Trout, is depicted in its natural habitat, swimming upstream against the current of a rapids-filled river. The Charr, on the other hand, is shown in a more domestic setting, lying on a grassy bank. The engraving also illustrates various fishing methods used to catch Salmon in artificial rapids on European rivers. The image shows a fisherman using a grill to smoke and cook the freshly caught Salmon, while another uses a net to capture the fish as they navigate the rapids. The intricate details of the engraving highlight the skill and artistry of Jacob Nilson, the artist responsible for the illustration. Wilhelm, a Bavarian clergyman and naturalist, was known as the German Buffon for his extensive knowledge and documentation of natural history. This engraving is a testament to the beauty and diversity of European freshwater fish and the methods used to catch them during the late 18th century.
