EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely detailed hand-colored copperplate print showcases the Rock Gunnel, Pholis gunnellus, also known as the Spotted Blenny or Butter Fish, and the Blennius gunnellus. The illustration was drawn and engraved by the renowned Irish naturalist and artist, Edward Donovan, for his seminal work, "A Natural History of British Fishes," published by Donovan and Rivington in London between 1802 and 1808. The Rock Gunner is a small, flatfish that inhabits the rocky shores of the North Atlantic Ocean and some European rivers. With its distinctive spotted body and laterally compressed form, this fish is an excellent example of the blenny family, Blenniidae. Its elongated dorsal fin and pectoral fins enable it to cling to rocks and move along the seabed with ease. Donovan's meticulous illustration captures the Rock Gunner's intricate scales, fin structures, and subtle coloration. The artist's keen observation and attention to detail are evident in the way the fish's eyes are depicted, conveying a lifelike quality that draws the viewer in. This print is an essential addition to any collection focused on ichthyology, zoology, or marine science. It offers a glimpse into the rich biodiversity of the British Isles and the natural history of the North Atlantic Ocean during the early 19th century. The intricate copperplate engraving and hand-coloring techniques employed by Donovan highlight the importance of scientific illustration in documenting and understanding the natural world.
