EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the year 1862, showcases the intriguing world of Squalus acanthias, commonly known as the Spiny dogfish or Spurdog. The image features both an adult and a young specimen of this ancient and fascinating marine species. The Spiny dogfish, also referred to as the mud shark or piked dogfish, is a small shark with a distinctive spur on its dorsal fin, which gives it its name. This shark has a slender body and can be found in the North Atlantic and North Pacific Oceans. They are known to inhabit deep waters, making them a challenging species to study and observe. The Victorian era, during which this photograph was taken, was a time of great fascination with the natural world. The discovery and exploration of new species, particularly in the marine realm, was a source of great excitement and scientific inquiry. This photograph is a testament to the curiosity and wonder of the Victorians, who sought to document and understand the natural world around them. The Spiny dogfish has a rich history, with evidence suggesting that they have been present in the oceans for over 300 million years. They have been an important food source for humans for centuries, and their meat was once a staple in the diets of coastal communities. Today, they continue to be an important species in the marine ecosystem and are the subject of ongoing scientific research. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing us with a window into the world of the Spiny dogfish during a time when they were a source of fascination and wonder. It serves as a reminder of the importance of documenting and preserving the natural world for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
