EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, dating back to the Victorian era of 1863, showcases the Umbrina cirrosa, also known as the Shade or Grey Drum, a fascinating fish species belonging to the Sciaenidae family. The Umbrina cirrosa is native to the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, and is characterized by its unique yellow and grey coloration. The photograph, taken over a century and a half ago, offers a glimpse into the rich natural history of the marine world during the 1860s. The intricate details of the fish's scales and fin structures are beautifully captured, providing an up-close and personal view of this intriguing species. The Umbrina cirrosa is a drum fish, which means it produces a drumming sound when it hits the sandy ocean floor with its tail. This behavior is used to attract prey and communicate with other members of its species. The fish is an important food source for many larger marine organisms and is also a popular target for recreational fishermen. This photograph is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world, captured during a time when exploration and documentation of the natural world was a major focus. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and protecting marine ecosystems, which continue to provide us with incredible species and natural wonders.
