EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored copperplate stipple engraving, published by F. G. Levrault between 1816 and 1830, showcases two intriguing marine species: the Spiny Dogfish, Squalus acanthias, and the Catshark, Scyliorhinus canicula. The illustration, directed by Turpin and engraved by Massard, was created by the skilled artist Jean Gabriel Pretre, who was renowned for his work in natural history. At the time, Pretre served as a painter of natural history at Empress Josephine's zoo, later becoming an artist at the Museum of Natural History. His meticulous attention to detail is evident in this image, which brings the unique features of these two shark species to life. The Spiny Dogfish, with its distinctive spines along its back and dorsal fin, is a common shark found in the Atlantic and North Sea. Known for their tenacious nature and ability to survive in cold waters, they are an essential part of the marine ecosystem. The Catshark, or Brown Catshark, is a smaller shark species with a brown, speckled body and distinctive barbel-tipped snout. Found in the Atlantic and Mediterranean, they are known for their ability to camouflage themselves on the ocean floor, making them elusive and challenging to study. This engraving not only serves as a beautiful work of art but also as an important historical record of these fascinating marine creatures. The intricate details and vibrant colors showcase the skill and dedication of Pretre and his collaborators, making it a valuable addition to any collection of natural history or marine life artwork.
