EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning vintage print captures the power and grace of a Short-Finned Tunny, or Sarda sarda, a highly migratory and fast-swimming fish species found in the Atlantic Ocean. Dating back to the 1860s, this image offers a glimpse into the natural world of the Victorian era, showcasing the beauty and diversity of marine life. The Short-Finned Tunny, also known as the Yellowfin Bonito or Thynnus brachypterus, is a member of the Scombridae family, which also includes the Mackerel, Tuna, and Bonito. This fish is characterized by its short, broad pectoral fins, blue-green back, yellow lateral stripe, and distinctive dorsal fin. The Short-Finned Tunny is a pelagic fish, meaning it lives in the open ocean, and is known for its speed and agility. It is a popular target for recreational and sport fishermen due to its strength and fighting ability. This fish can grow up to 120 cm (47 inches) in length and weigh up to 18 kg (40 pounds). This print, taken in the late 1800s, is a testament to the fascination with the natural world that existed during the Victorian era. It is a reminder of the importance of preserving and protecting marine ecosystems, which continue to provide us with a wealth of natural wonders and resources. The Short-Finned Tunny remains an iconic species, inspiring awe and admiration for its power, speed, and beauty. This image is a valuable historical record of a fascinating species, offering a glimpse into the natural world of the past and reminding us of the importance of preserving and protecting marine biodiversity for future generations.
