EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a variety of fascinating marine creatures, each with its own unique features and characteristics. The Common smoothhand, Mustelus mustelus, is depicted as a vulnerable species, highlighting the importance of conservation efforts to protect its population. The angler fish, Lophius piscatorius, with its distinctive lure used to attract prey, adds an element of mystery to the composition. The burrfish, Chilomycterus schoepfi, is portrayed in intricate detail, showcasing its spiky exterior for defense against predators. The bill of a sawfish, Pristis pectinata, serves as a stark reminder of the critically endangered status facing this majestic creature. Additional specimens included in the image are the small haay or shark Mustelus laevis and the little marine devil Rana piscatrix from the Caribbean Islands. These lesser-known species contribute to the overall diversity and complexity of our oceans. Overall, this hand-colored copperplate engraving from 1771 offers a glimpse into a Wunderkammer or Cabinet of Curiosities owned by P.L. Muller. It serves as both an educational tool and a work of art that highlights the beauty and fragility of our natural world.
