EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely detailed handcolored copperplate engraving depicts the Common Seabream, also known as the Red Porgy or Pagrus pagrus. The image, drawn and engraved by the renowned naturalist and artist, Richard Polydore Nodder, was published in George Shaw and Frederick Nodder's The Naturalist's Miscellany in London, 1800. The Common Seabream is a highly prized fish species, valued for its delicious taste and texture. However, its population has been declining due to overfishing and habitat destruction, making it an endangered species today. The Common Seabream is a Mediterranean and Black Sea fish, with a distinctive red-orange color on its sides and a white belly. It can grow up to 50 cm in length and weigh up to 2 kg. This fish is an important part of the Mediterranean diet and has been a staple food source for centuries. The intricate engraving captures the unique features of the Common Seabream, from its large pectoral fins to its small, sharp teeth. The handcoloring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a beautiful addition to any collection of zoological or natural history prints. This historical print serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving endangered species and their habitats. The Common Seabream is just one of many fish species facing threats from overfishing and habitat destruction. By raising awareness and taking action, we can help ensure that future generations can enjoy the beauty and diversity of our natural world.
