EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored steel engraving, titled "Spiny Catfish or Bacu, Acanthodoras cataphractus (Chestnut-bellied Doras, Doras castaneo-ventris)," is an exquisite example of Victorian-era fish illustration. Created by W.H. Lizars after an original illustration by James Stewart, this engraving is a stunning addition to Robert Schomburgk's "Fishes of Guiana," which was published as part of Sir William Jardine's Naturalists Library: Ichthyology in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1841. The Spiny Catfish, scientifically known as Acanthodoras cataphractus, is a unique and intriguing species native to the waters of South America. With its distinctive armor-like plates and spiny dorsal and pectoral fins, this catfish is well-equipped to protect itself from predators. The chestnut-bellied Doras, another common name for this species, refers to the rich, reddish-brown coloration of its lower body. This beautifully detailed engraving showcases the Spiny Catfish's unique features, from its elongated body and large, gaping mouth to its vibrant colors and intricate patterns. The meticulous hand-coloring adds depth and dimension to the image, bringing the fish to life and highlighting its natural beauty. Robert Schomburgk's "Fishes of Guiana" was an essential contribution to the scientific community, documenting the diverse and fascinating fish species found in the waters of South America. This hand-colored steel engraving of the Spiny Catfish is a testament to the skill and artistry of the Victorian-era illustrators and engravers who dedicated themselves to capturing the natural world in exquisite detail. Today, it remains an invaluable resource for fish enthusiasts, scientists, and anyone with an appreciation for the natural world.
