EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate print showcases the Greater weever, also known as Trachinus draco or the sting-bull. Created by Edward Donovan for his renowned Natural History of British Fishes, this exquisite illustration captures the intricate details and vibrant colors of this marine creature. The Greater weever is a fascinating species found in the waters surrounding Britain. Its venomous spines make it a formidable predator, capable of delivering painful stings to unsuspecting prey or humans who come into contact with it. Despite its dangerous reputation, this fish possesses an undeniable beauty that is beautifully captured in Donovan's artwork. The delicate brushstrokes and meticulous attention to detail bring this creature to life on paper, allowing viewers to appreciate its unique features and graceful form. The rich hues used in handcolouring enhance the visual appeal of this print, making it a true work of art. Edward Donovan was not only an artist but also a naturalist who dedicated his life to studying and documenting various species of British wildlife. His passion for nature shines through in every stroke of his pen and brush. This print serves as both a scientific record and an artistic masterpiece, offering us a glimpse into the world beneath our oceans while reminding us of the importance of preserving these fragile ecosystems for future generations.
