EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate engraving captures the beauty and diversity of three vulnerable shark species - the Six-gilled shark, Spiny dogfish, and Angular roughshark. The intricate details in this 19th-century illustration by Jean-Gabriel Prêtre showcase the unique characteristics of each species, from the six gills of Hexanchus griseus to the spines of Squalus acanthias.
As we admire these creatures from centuries past, it is a stark reminder of their current conservation status. With populations dwindling due to overfishing and habitat destruction, these sharks are at risk of disappearing forever if we do not take action to protect them.
Bernard Germain de Lacepede's Natural History of Oviparous Quadrupeds, Snakes, Fish and Cetaceans serves as a valuable resource for understanding and appreciating the natural world around us. Through illustrations like this one, we can learn about the importance of preserving biodiversity and ensuring that future generations have the opportunity to marvel at these magnificent creatures in person.
Let us use this image as inspiration to advocate for stronger protections for vulnerable shark species and work towards creating a more sustainable future for all marine life.
