EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, dated 1864, showcases the majestic Scophthalmus maximus, commonly known as the Turbot, Bannock Fleuk, or Tarbut. The Turbot is a flatfish species native to the Atlantic Ocean and the North Sea, with a distinctive round body and an olive-brown coloration on one side and a pale, beige color on the other. The Victorian era, in which this photograph was taken, was a time of great fascination with the natural world. The Turbot, with its unique appearance and intriguing adaptations, would have been a subject of great interest to naturalists and collectors of the time. The Turbot's ability to change color and blend in with the seabed made it a challenging catch for fishermen, adding to its allure. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and mystery of this fascinating marine species as it was seen over 150 years ago. The Turbot has been an important food source for centuries, with records of its consumption dating back to ancient Rome. Today, it remains a prized delicacy in European cuisine. However, this photograph is not about its culinary value, but rather a celebration of its natural history and the wonder it inspired in generations past.
