EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored copperplate engraving, taken from Friedrich Bertuch's Bilderbuch fur Kinder (Picture Book for Children), published in Weimar in 1798, showcases an intricate and detailed illustration of fish scales from five distinct species: cod (Gadus morhua, scale 1), gudgeon (Gobio gobio, scale 2), tench (Tinca tinca, scale 3), eel (Anguilla anguilla, scale 4), and perch (Perca fluviatilis, scale 5). The meticulous artistry of the engraving process is evident in the delicate lines and vibrant colors, which bring out the unique textures and patterns of each fish scale. Friedrich Bertuch's Bilderbuch fur Kinder was a groundbreaking educational publication, designed to introduce children to the natural world around them. This illustration of fish scales would have provided young learners with an up-close look at the various textures and characteristics of different fish species, fostering a sense of curiosity and appreciation for the natural world. The cod scale (1) displays a large, hexagonal shape with distinct ridges and a smooth, almost translucent appearance. The gudgeon scale (2) is smaller and more rounded, with a series of fine, parallel lines running across its surface. The tench scale (3) is larger and more elongated, with a series of interlocking, diamond-shaped plates. The eel scale (4) is characterized by its large, flat, and smooth surface, while the perch scale (5) is smaller and more angular, with a series of raised, wavy lines. This historical illustration not only showcases the beauty and diversity of fish scales but also offers a glimpse into the natural history education of the past. Today, it remains an intriguing and visually stunning reminder of the rich scientific and artistic traditions that have shaped our understanding of the natural world.
