EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving from the 19th century showcases a collection of strange and fascinating fish species. The print, titled "Strange Fish" is part of the Bilderbuch fur Kinder (Picture Book for Children) published between 1790-1830 by Friedrich Justin Bertuch. The image features an array of peculiar marine creatures, each with its own unique characteristics. Among them are the shortnose boxfish, sargassum pipefish, smooth trunkfish, common seadragon, greater pipefish, buffalo trunkfish, alligator pipefish, and striped cowfish. These extraordinary specimens display intricate patterns and vibrant colors that mesmerize viewers. The German School's attention to detail in this engraving is truly remarkable. Every scale and fin has been meticulously rendered to bring these underwater wonders to life on paper. The composition allows us to appreciate both the individual beauty of each fish as well as their collective diversity. As we gaze upon this historical artwork now preserved in a private collection, we are reminded of the rich biodiversity found within our oceans. It serves as a testament to nature's endless capacity for creating awe-inspiring forms and reminds us of our responsibility to protect these fragile ecosystems. This enchanting print captures not only the imagination but also highlights the importance of appreciating and preserving our natural world for future generations.
