EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored copperplate engraving is a captivating representation of various fish species found in the Western Atlantic Ocean, as depicted in Gottlieb Tobias Wilhelm's Encyclopedia of Natural History: Fish, published in Augsburg, Germany, in 1804. The image features an array of intricately detailed fish, including the Western Atlantic Seabream (Archosargus rhomboidalis, also known as the Atlantic Perch or Inuma), the Porkfish (Anisotremus virginicus), and several types of sticklebacks: the Three-spined Stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus), Fifteen-spined Stickleback (Spinachia spinachia), and Ten-spined Stickleback (Pungitius pungitius). Wilhelm, a Bavarian clergyman and naturalist, was a prominent figure in the scientific community of his time, earning the moniker 'German Buffon' for his extensive work in natural history. This engraving showcases his meticulous attention to detail and the advanced techniques of the time, which allowed for the accurate and beautiful documentation of these marine creatures. The Western Atlantic Seabream, with its distinctive rhomboidal shape and mottled coloration, is a popular food fish in the region. The Porkfish, also known as the Juba or Jub, is a flatfish with a unique, elongated snout and a mottled brown coloration. The sticklebacks, with their distinctive spines and small size, are common inhabitants of shallow coastal waters and are of great interest to researchers due to their adaptability and evolutionary significance. This exquisite engraving not only serves as a testament to Wilhelm's naturalistic curiosity and artistic skill but also provides a fascinating glimpse into the rich biodiversity of the Western Atlantic Ocean during the early 19th century.
