EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage image features a five-bearded rockling fish, showcased in exquisite detail on a Wills cigarette card from around 1935. The five-bearded rockling, also known as the five-bearded dart or Five-barred rockling, is a small, elongated fish found in the Atlantic and Mediterranean seas. Its unique name comes from the five distinct barbels, or sensory organs, located beneath its lower jaw. The intricately illustrated fish is depicted swimming gracefully in a serene underwater environment, surrounded by various other marine life. The artist's masterful use of colors and shading brings the scene to life, creating a captivating and almost surreal effect. The card's border is adorned with intricate designs and patterns, adding to its overall charm and appeal. The Wills cigarette cards were a popular collectible item during the early to mid-20th century. These cards were often given away as promotional items with packs of Wills cigarettes and were collected and traded by children and adults alike. The cards covered a wide range of subjects, including animals, plants, and various other themes. This particular card, with its stunning illustration of the five-bearded rockling, is a rare and intriguing find. It offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing both the artistry and the collectible culture of the time. The card's age and rarity make it a valuable addition to any collection, and its beautiful design and interesting subject matter make it a true treasure for anyone with an appreciation for vintage art and marine life.
