EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, dating back to the Victorian era of 1862, showcases the intricately beautiful details of a Raia clavata, also known as the Thornback Ray or Rasptail Skate. The photograph, taken in the 1860s, offers a glimpse into the rich natural history of the marine world during that time. The Thornback Ray is a member of the Rajidae family, characterized by their flat bodies and wing-like pectoral fins. This particular specimen is named for the distinctive thorns that cover its back, providing it with an armored protection against predators. The ray's body is a mottled brown color, blending seamlessly with the sandy ocean floor. Its wide, flat tail is held high in the water, creating a striking contrast against the dark background. The Thornback Ray is a common inhabitant of the North Atlantic and North Sea, and is known for its unique mating behavior. During mating season, the males develop a distinctive knob on their snout, which they use to attract females. Once a female is interested, the male will perform a courtship dance, flapping its wings and waving its tail. This photograph is a testament to the natural beauty and diversity of marine life that existed long before commercial exploitation and industrialization. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and protecting our oceans and the fascinating creatures that call them home.
