EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the European or common sturgeon, a species that is critically endangered. The image was handcoloured on a copperplate and beautifully drawn and engraved by Edward Donovan as part of his renowned work, "Natural History of British Fishes" published in London between 1802 and 1808. The intricate details captured in this illustration highlight the exquisite craftsmanship of Donovan's artwork. The sturgeon, with its sleek body and distinctive features, emerges from the depths of the ocean or river depicted in the background. Its presence evokes a sense of awe for these magnificent creatures that inhabit our waters. As we admire this stunning portrayal, it serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving our natural world. With its critically endangered status, the European or common sturgeon symbolizes both the fragility and resilience of our planet's biodiversity. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this image also holds scientific significance. It contributes to ichthyology (the study of fish) and zoology by providing valuable insights into marine life. Furthermore, it sheds light on fishing practices throughout history, offering glimpses into traditional methods such as line fishing. Overall, this print not only celebrates Edward Donovan's artistic talent but also prompts us to reflect on our responsibility towards protecting endangered species like the European or common sturgeon for future generations to appreciate their beauty and ecological importance.
