EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, dated 1864, showcases the Long Rough Dab or Hippoglossoides platessoides, a fascinating flatfish species that has inhabited the North Atlantic and North Sea waters since ancient times. The Long Rough Dab, a close relative of the more commonly known Flounder and Sole, is characterized by its elongated body, rough skin, and distinctive mottled brown and dark coloration. The Victorian-era photograph, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a rare glimpse into the natural world of the 1860s. The intricate details of the fish's scales and gills are beautifully captured, revealing the intricacies of its anatomy. The Long Rough Dab's expressive eyes seem to convey a sense of curiosity and intelligence, making this image a true treasure for both natural history and photography enthusiasts. The Long Rough Dab is a flatfish, meaning it lies on the seabed with both eyes on the same side. This adaptation allows the fish to blend in with the sandy ocean floor and ambush its prey. Its diet consists mainly of small crustaceans, mollusks, and other invertebrates. This photograph not only serves as a testament to the wonders of the natural world but also highlights the advancements in photography technology during the Victorian era. The ability to capture such intricate details of a living organism was a remarkable achievement, and this image remains an essential addition to any collection of historical marine life documentation.
