EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, dated 1879, showcases the European Perch (Perca fluviatilis), also known as the Redfin Perch or English Perch. Belonging to the Percidae family, this vibrant and striking fish is a native to European waters, thriving in both fresh and brackish water environments. The European Perch is a popular game fish, prized for its fighting spirit and delicious taste. In the late 1800s, the Victorian era, when this photograph was taken, angling was a popular pastime for the affluent classes. The elegant presentation of this Perch in the print reflects the appreciation and admiration for the natural world during this time. The European Perch is easily recognizable by its distinctive red-orange stripes along the sides, and its elongated, slender body. Its average size ranges from 20 to 40 cm, but larger specimens can reach up to 60 cm. This fish is an important part of the European aquatic ecosystem, playing a crucial role in maintaining the balance of the food chain. As we gaze at this print, we are transported back in time, to an era when the natural world was a source of wonder and inspiration. The European Perch, with its striking appearance and fighting spirit, continues to captivate anglers and nature enthusiasts alike, making it an enduring symbol of the rich biodiversity of our waterways.
