EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored copperplate engraving, taken from Gottlieb Tobias Wilhelm's Encyclopedia of Natural History: Fish, published in Augsburg in 1804, showcases four distinct species of fish: the Zingel zingel, or red hind; Epinephelus guttatus, or red hind grouper; Morone saxatilis, or striped bass; and Perca saxatilis, or freshwater perch. The image is a meticulous reproduction of a work by the skilled engraver Jacob Nilson. Gottlieb Tobias Wilhelm (1758-1811), a Bavarian clergyman and naturalist, was a prominent figure in the scientific community of his time, earning the moniker "German Buffon" for his extensive contributions to the field of ichthyology. This encyclopedia was a testament to his dedication to documenting and preserving the natural world. The red hind, depicted in the upper left corner, is a freshwater fish native to Europe. Its vibrant red coloration and distinctive black spots make it a striking addition to the composition. The red hind grouper, or Epinephelus guttatus, is a large marine fish found in the Mediterranean and the eastern Atlantic Ocean. Its powerful build and distinctive red coloration are on full display in this engraving. The striped bass, or Morone saxatilis, is a popular game fish found in the western Atlantic Ocean. Its distinctive stripes and elongated body are accurately captured in this intricately detailed engraving. The freshwater perch, or Perca saxatilis, is a common fish found in Europe and Asia. Its greenish-brown coloration and distinctive black spots are evident in this beautifully handcolored engraving. This exquisite work of art serves as a testament to the natural beauty and diversity of the fish species that populate our waters, as well as the skill and artistry of the engraver and the naturalist who inspired it.
