EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate print depicts the Atlantic horse mackerel, Trachurus trachurus, also known as the horse mackerel, scad, or Scomber trachurus. The intricately detailed illustration was drawn and engraved by Edward Donovan for his seminal work, "The Natural History of British Fishes," published by Donovan and F.C. and J. Rivington in London between 1802 and 1808. The Atlantic horse mackerel is a highly migratory, cold-water fish that is found in the North Atlantic and Mediterranean Seas. It is a valuable food source for both commercial and recreational fisheries, and is prized for its firm, oily flesh that is rich in omega-3 fatty acids. In this illustration, the Atlantic horse mackerel is depicted in profile view, with its elongated, torpedo-shaped body and distinctive, laterally compressed tail fin. The fish is shown with its mouth open, revealing its small, sharp teeth. The scales on its body are depicted in intricate detail, as are the gill covers and fins. The handcolouring adds depth and vibrancy to the illustration, bringing out the rich colours of the fish's body and fins. The background is simple and uncluttered, allowing the Atlantic horse mackerel to take centre stage. This beautiful illustration is a testament to the meticulous work of Edward Donovan and the artisans who brought his drawings to life through the copperplate engraving process. It is a valuable resource for ichthyologists, zoologists, and marine biologists, and a stunning addition to any collection of natural history prints.
