EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored copperplate engraving, taken from Gottlieb Tobias Wilhelms Encyclopedia of Natural History: Fish, published in Augsburg in 1804, showcases the intricate details of the Female Atlantic Salmon, Salmo salar, during the spawning season. The image, created after the work of Jacob Nilson, depicts the salmon's vibrant colors and distinctive features as it navigates the rapids of a river. In the background, fishermen employ traditional methods to catch these precious marine creatures. The fishermen are seen wading in the river, holding nets to capture the spawning salmon as they make their way upstream to lay their eggs. Nearby, a fisherman tends to a grill or grid, likely used to prepare the freshly caught salmon for consumption. The use of nets and grills during the spawning season was a common practice in the past, reflecting the importance of these fish in both the natural world and human culture. Gottlieb Tobias Wilhelm, a Bavarian clergyman and naturalist, was an influential figure in the field of ichthyology during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. His encyclopedia, which focused on the natural history of fish, was a significant contribution to the scientific community and remains an important historical resource today. The intricate details of this engraving, from the rippling water to the individual scales on the salmon's body, serve as a testament to the skill and artistry of the engraver. This image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the beauty of the natural world and the methods used by early naturalists and fishermen to understand and appreciate it.
