EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely detailed hand-colored copperplate print showcases the Ruffe, Gymnocephalus cernua, also known as the European Ruff or Perca cernua. The Ruffe is a small, freshwater fish native to Europe, primarily found in rivers and lakes. This illustration was meticulously drawn and engraved by Edward Donovan for his seminal work, "The Natural History of British Fishes," published by Donovan and Rivington in London between 1802 and 1808. Donovan's illustration captures the Ruffe's distinctive features, including its elongated, slender body, dorsal and pectoral fins, and a unique, upturned snout. The fish's scales are depicted in intricate detail, shimmering with a metallic sheen. The background of the print is adorned with various aquatic plants and rocks, adding to the overall sense of depth and realism. The Ruffe was an essential species in the ichthyological and zoological studies of the time, and Donovan's illustration played a crucial role in documenting its natural history. The fish was, and still is, of interest to both scientific communities and anglers due to its unique characteristics and widespread distribution. This print is a testament to the artistry and scientific rigor of the time, providing a window into the natural world and the early days of ichthyology and zoology. The intricate details and vibrant colors make it a beautiful addition to any collection focused on marine and freshwater life, natural history, or the history of science.
