EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured steel engraving depicts the European Seabass, scientifically known as Dicentrarchus labrax (previously referred to as Labrax lupus), a highly prized marine fish native to the Atlantic Ocean. The image is part of Georg Friedrich Treitschke's Gallery of Natural History, Naturhistorischer Bildersaal des Thierreiches, published in Leipzig, Germany, in 1842. The European Seabass is a large, powerful fish, with an average length of around 60 cm and weight of up to 5 kg. Its body is elongated and compressed laterally, with a prominent dorsal fin and a large, protruding lower jaw. The fish is characterized by its olive-green back, lateral lines, and silver-white belly. The European Seabass is a popular game fish and is also important for commercial fisheries, particularly in the Mediterranean Sea. It is a valuable food source and is often served in restaurants and markets. The fish is also known for its excellent taste and texture, making it a favorite among anglers and seafood enthusiasts. This engraving is a testament to the scientific interest in ichthyology during the 19th century and the importance of accurate documentation and preservation of natural specimens. The intricate details of the fish's anatomy and coloration are beautifully rendered, making this a valuable addition to any collection of natural history prints.
