EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored copperplate engraving showcases Sea Sturgeon, Acipenser sturio, species number 27 and 28 from the encyclopedia of natural history by the Bavarian clergyman and naturalist, Gottlieb Tobias Wilhelm. Dated back to 1804, this exquisite work of art is a testament to the intricate detail and beauty of the sea sturgeon, a marine creature of the order Acipenseriformes and the family Acipenseridae. Sea sturgeons are large, prehistoric-looking fish, with a long, elongated, and slender body, covered in large, bony scutes. They are critically endangered, with populations declining due to overfishing for their valuable roe, or caviar. In this engraving, we can see the underside of the sea sturgeon, revealing its unique and intricately patterned belly, which is a key identifying feature of the species. Wilhelm's encyclopedia of natural history was a groundbreaking work in the field of ichthyology, documenting a wide range of fish species from around the world. This particular engraving showcases the meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill of the time, providing a window into the natural world and the scientific curiosity of the early modern period. The sea sturgeon, with its ancient and mysterious appearance, continues to captivate scientists, conservationists, and the public alike, as efforts are made to protect this critically endangered species and ensure its survival for future generations.
