EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored copperplate engraving, taken from Gottlieb Tobias Wilhelms Encyclopedia of Natural History: Fish, published in Augsburg in 1804, showcases two intriguing species of fish from the Indo-Pacific region: the Indo-Pacific tarpon (Megalops cyprinoides, 140) and the Chinese gizzard shad (Clupanodon thrissa, 141). The image is a testament to the meticulous detail and artistic skill of the time, with each fish rendered in exquisite detail. The Indo-Pacific tarpon, also known as the Pacific tarpon or silver tarpon, is a large, migratory fish found in the tropical and subtropical waters of the Indian and Pacific Oceans. With its distinctive long, slender body and metallic silver scales, it is a sight to behold. The Chinese gizzard shad, on the other hand, is a small, herring-like fish that is abundant in the coastal waters of the Eastern Indian and Western Pacific Oceans. It is an important food source for many people in the region and is often used for salted and pickled fish dishes. The scene in the engraving also depicts cooper barrels being made for the preservation of these fish. Cooperage, the art of making barrels or casks, was an essential industry in the days before refrigeration. The barrels were used to store and transport salted and pickled fish, ensuring a steady supply of protein during long sea voyages. This engraving is a fascinating glimpse into the natural history and maritime culture of the early 19th century. It not only showcases the beauty and diversity of the Indo-Pacific region's fish species but also highlights the importance of preservation techniques in ensuring a sustainable food supply. Wilhelm, the Bavarian clergyman and naturalist who compiled this encyclopedia, was a pioneer in the field of ichthyology and made significant contributions to the scientific understanding of fish species during his time.
