EDITORS COMMENTS
This colored engraving from the 19th century showcases a collection of new mackerel-like fish, beautifully captured by the German School. The print, part of a private collection, is believed to have been featured in Friedrich Justin Bertuch's "A Bilderbuch fAor KinderA" (Picture Book for Children) between 1790 and 1830. The image presents an array of unique fish species that are sure to captivate any nature enthusiast. Among them are the Indian sailfish or fan-fish, known for its distinctive appearance; the delicate sailfish with its elegant fins; and the Aguia or Mediterranean spearfish, each displaying their own remarkable characteristics. The specific species depicted include Histiophorus indicus, Histiophorus pulchellus, and Tetrapturus belone. Published by ePurix Verlag Volker Christen and now out of copyright restrictions, this engraving offers a glimpse into marine wildlife during a time when scientific exploration was at its peak. From the majestic Atlantic Sailfish to Indo-Pacific Sailfish and other fascinating creatures beneath the waves - this artwork celebrates both their beauty and diversity. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical masterpiece through Fine Art Finder. It serves as a reminder of our ever-evolving understanding of nature's wonders while also highlighting humanity's enduring fascination with animals throughout history.
