EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Brown Trout, Salmo trutta (Sewen, Salmo cambricus): A Glimpse into the Natural History of British Fishes" This exquisite handcoloured copperplate print, drawn and engraved by Edward Donovan, showcases the Brown Trout, Salmo trutta (also known as Sewen or Cambrian Trout), a native freshwater fish species found predominantly in Europe and North America. The print is an intricate masterpiece from Donovan's "Natural History of British Fishes," published between 1802 and 1808 by Donovan and F.C. and J. Rivington in London. The Brown Trout is depicted in its pristine beauty, with its vibrant, speckled body, distinctive red spots, and forked tail. The meticulous attention to detail in this illustration is a testament to Donovan's skill as an artist and his dedication to documenting the natural world. The print also includes a Latin inscription, naming the species and its scientific classification. The Brown Trout is a significant species in the realm of ichthyology and zoology, as it has been a subject of scientific study for centuries. Its adaptability to various water conditions and wide distribution have made it a popular target for anglers and a symbol of freshwater fisheries. This print serves as a historical record of the Brown Trout and a reminder of the rich natural history that lies beneath our rivers and oceans. The Brown Trout's intriguing name, Salmo trutta, comes from the Latin words "salmo," meaning "leaping," and "trutta," meaning "trout." The name reflects the species' agile nature and its propensity to leap out of the water when disturbed. This print not only showcases the Brown Trout's physical attributes but also transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the world of natural history and the scientific discoveries of the past.
