EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate print depicts the Streaked Gurnard, Trigloporus lastoviza (previously known as Trigla lineata), a fascinating marine fish native to the North Atlantic and Mediterranean seas. The print is an exquisite example of the natural history illustrations created by Edward Donovan for his seminal work, "Natural History of British Fishes," published by Donovan and Rivington in London between 1802 and 1808. The Streaked Gurnard is a flatfish, characterized by its flattened body and both eyes on the right side. Its distinctive features include the prominent, dark, vertical stripes on its sides and the large, protruding lower jaw. This illustration captures the intricate details of the fish's scales, fins, and gill covers, providing an accurate and visually captivating representation of the species. Donovan's meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill are evident in this beautiful engraving. The background is adorned with intricate patterns and delicate shading, adding depth and dimension to the image. The hand-coloring further enhances the print's visual appeal, bringing the vibrant colors of the Streaked Gurnard to life. As a key figure in the field of ichthyology and zoology during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, Donovan's work was instrumental in advancing scientific knowledge of the marine world. This print is a testament to his dedication and passion for documenting the natural history of British fishes, providing valuable insights into the diverse marine life of the time. The Streaked Gurnard continues to be of interest to scientists, anglers, and marine enthusiasts alike, making this historic print not only an attractive addition to any collection but also a valuable resource for those studying the rich biodiversity of our oceans and rivers.
