EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, dating back to the 1860s, showcases the Sharp-Nosed Eel, Anguilla anguilla (also known as Anguilla acutirostris), in its natural habitat. The eel's striking features are on full display, with its elongated, green body, pointed snout, and piercing eyes. The Sharp-Nosed Eel is a unique species of freshwater eel, native to Europe and parts of Asia. Contrary to popular belief, this eel is not a marine species, but rather spends most of its life in freshwater, only venturing to the sea to breed. This photograph, taken during the Victorian era, offers a glimpse into the natural world of the past. The eel's environment is depicted as lush and verdant, with vibrant plants and clear, pristine water. The image is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world that existed before the onset of industrialization and the significant changes it brought about. The Sharp-Nosed Eel holds a special place in the annals of natural history. Its unique life cycle, which involves living in both freshwater and saltwater environments, has fascinated scientists and naturalists for generations. This photograph serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and studying the natural world, both for its intrinsic value and for the knowledge it can provide. In this moment, captured over a century ago, we are transported back in time, allowing us to appreciate the wonder and mystery of the natural world as it was once known.
