EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving, taken from Friedrich Johann Bertuch's "Bilderbuch fur Kinder" (Picture Book for Children), published in Weimar in 1795, showcases a vibrant and intricately detailed representation of five distinct shark species. The engraving features the Spiny Dogfish (Squalus acanthias), a vulnerable species with distinctive spines along its back, the Blue Shark (Prionace glauca), near threatened with its beautiful electric-blue colouration, the Small Spotted Catshark (Scyliorhinus canicula), with its distinctive black spots on a grey background, and the Zebra Shark (Stegostoma fasciatum), a vulnerable species known for its striking stripes. The Spiny Dogfish and Zebra Shark are shown in an active pose, while the other three species are depicted in a more relaxed, resting position. This enchanting illustration offers a glimpse into the natural history of these fascinating creatures, showcasing their unique features and highlighting the importance of conservation efforts for vulnerable and near-threatened shark species.
