EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate print depicts the Coalfish, or Saithe, Pollachius virens (previously known as Gadus carbonarius), a common fish found in the North Atlantic Ocean and adjacent seas. The Coalfish, also known as Pollack or Pollock, is a popular game fish and an important commercial species. Edward Donovan, a renowned Irish naturalist and illustrator, created this beautiful and intricate illustration as part of his Natural History of British Fishes, published by Donovan and F.C. and J. Rivington in London between 1802 and 1808. Donovan's work was groundbreaking in its time, showcasing the natural history of British fishes with exceptional accuracy and detail. The Coalfish in this print is depicted in a lifelike pose, with its elongated body, large head, and distinctive black lateral line running along its side. The fish's mouth is open, revealing its sharp, needle-like teeth. The background of the print is adorned with various marine plants and rocks, adding to the overall beauty and realism of the illustration. The Coalfish is a valuable species in both the recreational and commercial fishing industries. It is a highly sought-after game fish due to its strong fighting abilities and delicious taste. The fish is also an essential food source for many marine predators, making it an important link in the marine food chain. This exquisite handcoloured copperplate print is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the marine world and the scientific curiosity that drove naturalists like Edward Donovan to document and study it. It remains an invaluable resource for ichthyologists, zoologists, and marine enthusiasts today.
