EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning vintage print captures the intriguing and enigmatic figure of Pleuronectes cynoglossus, also known as the Craigfluke, Witch Flatfish, or Pole, a unique and fascinating flatfish species that has captivated naturalists and marine enthusiasts for centuries. Dating back to 1864, this image offers a glimpse into the rich natural history of the Victorian era, a time when the exploration and documentation of the natural world was a source of great fascination and discovery. The Craigfluke is a flatfish of the Pleuronectidae family, characterized by its flattened body and unique eye placement, which allows it to blend seamlessly into the sandy ocean floor. Its golden, round body and intricate patterns are on full display in this exquisitely detailed print, which showcases the exceptional artistry and craftsmanship of the time. The Craigfluke is native to the North Atlantic and North Sea, and its ability to change color and blend in with its surroundings has made it a subject of intrigue for both scientific and folkloric traditions. In some cultures, it was believed that the Craigfluke had magical powers and was associated with witchcraft and the supernatural. This print not only serves as a beautiful and intriguing work of art but also as a window into the natural history of the past, offering a glimpse into the rich and diverse marine life that has fascinated and inspired generations of naturalists, scientists, and marine enthusiasts.
