EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving captures the beauty and diversity of three iconic fish species - the Atlantic salmon, silver salmon (now extinct), and sea trout. The intricate details in this 19th-century illustration by Pee Sr. after Jean-Gabriel Pretre showcase the delicate features of these aquatic creatures.
The Atlantic salmon, known for its migratory behavior and prized as a game fish, is depicted with its distinctive silvery scales and streamlined body. The now-extinct silver salmon, Salmo schiefermuelleri, serves as a poignant reminder of the fragility of our natural world and the importance of conservation efforts.
Lastly, the sea trout, Salmo trutta, is portrayed with its characteristic speckled pattern and elegant fins. These fish are not only important for their ecological role but also hold cultural significance in many regions around the world.
Bernard Germain de Lacepede's Natural History of Oviparous Quadrupeds provides a valuable source of information on these fascinating creatures, while Pee Sr.'s skilled hand brings them to life in vibrant color. This engraving serves as a timeless tribute to these remarkable species and a testament to the artistry of scientific illustration in capturing the wonders of nature.
