EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases the Greater Forkbeard, Phycis phycis, also known as Hakes Dame, Forked Hake, and Goat Fish, in its natural habitat during the Victorian era. Dating back to 1864, this photograph offers a glimpse into the rich marine life of the past. The Greater Forkbeard is a brownish-silver, elongated fish with distinctive forked tails, which gives it its name. The Greater Forkbeard is a common species of the North Atlantic and North Sea, and was an essential component of the marine ecosystem during the 1860s. This fish is a valuable food source for humans, and its popularity as a food item can be traced back to ancient times. The photograph, taken over 150 years ago, showcases the Greater Forkbeard in its natural habitat, surrounded by the clear, blue waters of the ocean. The intricate details of the fish's scales and fins are beautifully captured, providing a close-up view of this fascinating species. The Victorian era was a time of great exploration and discovery, and this photograph is a testament to the natural wonders that were discovered during that time. The Greater Forkbeard, with its unique features and importance to the marine ecosystem, is a perfect example of the beauty and diversity of the natural world. This image is not only a historical record but also a reminder of the importance of preserving and protecting our oceans and the species that call them home.
