EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored copperplate print showcases the Ide, Leuciscus idus, also known as the Chub or Cyprinus jeses. The image is a masterpiece from Edward Donovan's Natural History of British Fishes, published between 1802 and 1808 by Donovan and Rivington in London. Donovan, a renowned Irish naturalist, created this illustration with meticulous attention to detail, both drawing and engraving it himself. The Ide is a freshwater fish native to Europe, specifically in rivers and lakes. Its elongated body, adorned with an attractive golden coloration, is a testament to its adaptation to its aquatic environment. The fish's dorsal and pectoral fins display striking black spots, adding to its visual appeal. The Natural History of British Fishes was a groundbreaking work in the fields of ichthyology and zoology, documenting a wide range of fish species found in the British Isles. Donovan's illustrations were not only scientifically accurate but also aesthetically pleasing, making them valuable resources for both scientific research and artistic inspiration. This particular print, with its intricate details and vibrant colors, offers a glimpse into the natural history of the Ide and the rich biodiversity of British waters during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. It serves as a reminder of the importance of documenting and preserving the natural world for future generations.
