EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored copperplate engraving, taken from Gottlieb Tobias Wilhelm's Encyclopedia of Natural History: Fish, published in Augsburg in 1804, captures a scene of common carp (Cyprinus carpio carpio) being caught by fishermen and fishwives from the shore. The image showcases a large net being hauled in from a bay or inlet, with several individuals working together to bring in their catch. The common carp, also known as the European carp or the rex cyprinorum, is a large, scaleless fish that is native to Europe and Asia. It is a popular species among anglers and is often cultivated for food due to its rich, nutty flavor and firm texture. The carp in this image appear to be of impressive size, suggesting a successful catch. The intricate details of the engraving, including the rippling water, the individual fish, and the expressions on the faces of the fishermen and fishwives, make this a stunning representation of a moment in the world of ichthyology, or the study of fish, during the late 18th century. Wilhelm, a Bavarian clergyman and naturalist, was a respected figure in the field of natural history and is often referred to as the German Buffon for his significant contributions to the scientific understanding of the natural world.
