The Basket Fish - A Fascinating Engraving from the 19th Century
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases an exquisite engraving titled "The Basket Fish" by the English School, dating back to the 19th century. Housed in a private collection, this historical artwork offers a glimpse into nature's wonders. The image depicts a unique creature with thorn-like bristles and arms shaped like stars. Known as the basket fish, this spiniferous animal is truly remarkable. Its body bears twenty stout spines resembling ribs, while its mouth features blunt teeth for feeding purposes. Native to the northern Atlantic region of America, particularly found in North America and parts of USA, this short-disc-shaped creature has adapted well to its surroundings. The radial arms serve as both defensive weapons and armaments against potential threats. Naturalist Winthrop has meticulously captured several animals' characteristics within this engraving. The pentagonal shape of the basket fish's body adds to its distinctiveness among wildlife species. As we delve into history through art, it becomes evident that our planet holds countless marvels waiting to be discovered. This fine piece serves as a reminder of how interconnected humans are with their environment and showcases the diversity present in our world.
