EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored copperplate print showcases the Two-spotted Clingfish, Diplecogaster bimaculata bimaculata, also known as the Bimaculated Sucker or the Two-spotted Sucker. The intricate details of this marine fish are beautifully rendered in this illustration from Edward Donovan's Natural History of British Fishes, published by Donovan and Rivington in London between 1802 and 1808. The Two-spotted Clingfish is a small, bottom-dwelling fish found in the North Atlantic and North Sea. As its name suggests, this fish is characterized by two distinct black spots on its body, which help it blend in with the rocky seafloor. The clingfish is a master of camouflage, using its pectoral fins to cling to surfaces and blend in with its surroundings. This illustration provides a fascinating glimpse into the natural history of this intriguing fish. The meticulous attention to detail in the engraving and hand-coloring reveals the fish's unique features, including its elongated dorsal fin, small pectoral fins, and large, expressive eyes. The illustration also provides valuable information about the fish's size and habitat, making it an essential resource for ichthyologists and zoologists of the time. The Two-spotted Clingfish is not only a scientific curiosity but also an important species in marine ecosystems. It plays a role in the food chain as both a predator and prey, and its ability to cling to surfaces makes it an interesting subject for further study in the fields of marine biology and oceanography.
