EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph depicts the Zander or Pike-perch, Sander lucioperca, a striking and highly-prized freshwater fish native to Europe. The intricately detailed illustration is taken from Georg Friedrich Treitschke's Gallery of Natural History, Naturhistorischer Bildersaal des Thierreiches, published in Leipzig in 1840. The Zander, also known as the European Perch or Savine, is a member of the Percidae family and is characterized by its elongated body, large head, and distinctive barbel-like sensory organs located beneath its lower jaw. This fish is a popular game fish, known for its aggressive behavior and strong fighting ability. The lithograph captures the Zander's vibrant colors and patterns, with its olive-green back, lateral stripes, and distinctive black spots. The fish is shown in a lifelike pose, swimming gracefully through the water. The intricate details of its scales, fins, and gills are beautifully rendered, making this an exquisite example of 19th-century ichthyological illustration. Treitschke's Gallery of Natural History was a significant contribution to the scientific study of natural history in Europe during the 19th century. The publication of this work marked a significant advancement in the field, providing accurate and detailed illustrations of a wide range of species, including fish, mammals, birds, and reptiles. This lithograph of the Zander is a testament to the high-quality and meticulous attention to detail that characterized Treitschke's work.
