EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate print, created by Edward Donovan for his "Natural History of British Fishes," published by Donovan and Rivington in London between 1802 and 1808, showcases the intricate details of the Piper, Trigla lyra. Donovan's meticulous illustration captures the unique features of this fish, with its elongated body, prominent dorsal fin, and distinctive pectoral and anal fins. The vibrant colors of the hand-coloring bring the fish to life, highlighting its striking scales and the subtle patterns on its body. The Piper, Trigla lyra, also known as the Lyra or the Three-bearded Rockling, is a marine fish that can be found in the North Atlantic and Mediterranean seas. It is a small, bottom-dwelling fish, typically measuring between 15 and 30 centimeters in length. The fish is named for its three barbels, which resemble beards, located under its chin. Donovan's illustration is a testament to the scientific curiosity and exploration of the natural world during the 18th and 19th centuries. The "Natural History of British Fishes" was one of the most comprehensive works on British fish at the time, featuring over 300 plates and covering a wide range of species. Donovan's dedication to accuracy and detail in his illustrations made this work an essential resource for ichthyologists, zoologists, and marine biologists. This beautiful print is a reminder of the rich history of scientific discovery and the importance of preserving and documenting the natural world for future generations. The intricate details of Donovan's illustration continue to captivate and inspire, making it a valuable addition to any collection of natural history or marine art.
