EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Basking Shark (Cetorhinus maximus) at Brighton, England, December 1812" This exquisite watercolour and ink illustration depicts a Basking Shark (Cetorhinus maximus), a magnificent elasmobranch fish, that was exhibited in Brighton, England, on the 5th of December 1812. The painting, a testament to the natural history exploration of the 19th century, captures the awe-inspiring size and intricate details of this fascinating creature. The Basking Shark, a member of the Squalus maximus species and the second-largest living shark, is a selachimorph fish belonging to the Lamniformes order. Native to European and North Atlantic waters, this gentle giant can grow up to 12 meters (39.3 feet) in length. The illustration showcases the shark's massive size, with its cavernous mouth open, revealing rows of small, tooth-like structures. Its body is covered in a smooth, grey skin, and its dorsal fin, pectoral fins, and caudal fin are clearly visible. The artist has meticulously captured the intricate patterns on the shark's body, including the darker spots and stripes. The Basking Shark is known for its unique feeding behavior, filtering water through its gills to extract plankton, making it an essential part of the marine food chain. This painting provides a glimpse into the past, offering a rare look at a species that continues to fascinate scientists and the public alike. This beautiful illustration, a product of the 19th century's natural history exploration, serves as a reminder of the rich biodiversity of the European and North Atlantic waters and the importance of preserving these magnificent creatures for future generations.
