EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored copperplate engraving showcases the Derbio or Pompano fish, Trachinotus ovatus, as illustrated and engraved by the renowned naturalists Richard Polydore Nodder and George Shaw for their seminal work, The Naturalist's Miscellany, published in London in 1800. The Derbio, also known as the Pompano, is a tropical marine fish characterized by its elongated body, silver-gray back, and lateral stripes. The fish's name derives from the Latin word 'pompa,' meaning 'splendid,' an apt description for this striking species. The meticulous detail in this engraving highlights the Derbio's distinct features, including its large, fan-like tail fin and dorsal fin, as well as its small, sharp teeth. The intricate shading and coloration in the handcoloring bring the fish to life, capturing the iridescence of its scales and the subtle variations in its pattern. The Naturalist's Miscellany was a groundbreaking work in the field of zoology and natural history, featuring accurate and detailed illustrations of a wide range of species. The collaboration between Shaw and Nodder resulted in some of the most beautiful and precise depictions of their time, making this engraving a valuable addition to any collection of historical natural history art. Today, the Derbio remains an important species in both scientific research and commercial fisheries, with its meat being highly prized for its flavor and texture. This engraving serves not only as a testament to the artistry and scientific curiosity of the past but also as a reminder of the enduring fascination with the natural world and the role of illustration in documenting and preserving its wonders.
