EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored copperplate engraving depicts the vulnerable Zebra shark, Stegostoma fasciatum, a captivating marine species with striking stripes and spots. The illustration, drawn and engraved by the renowned naturalist and artist, Richard Polydore Nodder, was published in George Shaw and Frederick Nodder's The Naturalist's Miscellany in London, 1800. The Zebra shark, also known as Squalus fasciatus, is a large, powerful predator found in the tropical and subtropical waters of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. This juvenile and adult shark is easily recognizable by its distinct, alternating dark and light stripes, which provide excellent camouflage among the sandy seafloor. As they grow older, their bodies develop large, black spots. The Zebra shark is considered vulnerable on the IUCN Red List due to overfishing for its fins, which are highly valued in the shark fin trade. Additionally, habitat destruction and bycatch in fishing gear pose significant threats to this species. This historical engraving not only showcases the beauty of the Zebra shark but also highlights the importance of documenting and preserving the natural world for future generations. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this illustration serve as a testament to the skill and dedication of the artists and naturalists of the past, who sought to understand and appreciate the wonders of the natural world.
