EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate engraving captures the beauty and fragility of three endangered shark species - the Leafscale gulper shark, Sawfish, and Angel shark. Each one depicted in intricate detail, showcasing their unique features and characteristics. The Leafscale gulper shark (Centrophorus squamosus) is classified as vulnerable due to overfishing and habitat destruction. Its distinctive scales give it a striking appearance that is beautifully captured in this illustration. The Sawfish (Pristiophorus cirratus) is listed as endangered, with its saw-like rostrum making it easily recognizable. Unfortunately, these majestic creatures are facing threats from bycatch and habitat loss. Lastly, the Angel shark (Squatina squatina) is critically endangered, with populations declining rapidly due to overfishing and habitat degradation. This graceful predator can be seen resting on the ocean floor in this image, waiting for unsuspecting prey to pass by. Through this historical artwork from 1825, we are reminded of the importance of conservation efforts to protect these magnificent marine animals for future generations to admire. Let us cherish and preserve our oceans' biodiversity before it's too late.
