EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving from Friedrich Johann Bertuch's "Bilderbuch fur Kinder" showcases a fascinating array of marine creatures - the electric eel, torpedo, batfish, cowfish and sargassum fish. Each creature is meticulously detailed in this illustration from 1792, capturing the unique characteristics that make them stand out in the underwater world.
The Electric eel (Electrophorus electricus) with its ability to generate electricity, the torpedo ray (Torpedo torpedo) known for its powerful electric shocks, the Brazilian batfish (Ogcocephalus vespertilio) with its unusual appearance resembling a bat, the longhorn cowfish (Lactoria cornuta) sporting distinctive horns on its head, and the sargassum fish (Histrio histrio) blending seamlessly into its surroundings - each one a marvel of nature.
As you gaze upon this print, you can't help but be drawn into the intricate details of each species. The delicate handcolouring adds depth and vibrancy to these underwater wonders, bringing them to life on paper. This engraving is not just a visual feast for the eyes but also serves as an educational tool about ichthyology and biodiversity.
Whether you're a lover of marine life or simply appreciate fine artistry, this print is sure to captivate your imagination and spark curiosity about the diverse inhabitants of our oceans.
