EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving from the 18th century showcases a scene from a kipper factory, where workers are diligently smoking herring. The intricate details in this print provide a fascinating glimpse into the traditional methods used in preserving fish during that time period.
In the foreground, we see Sprat, scientifically known as Sprattus sprattus, swimming gracefully through the water. This small and silvery fish is a common sight in European waters and has been an important food source for centuries.
Moving towards the background of the image, we are transported to the smokehouse where workers are busy at work smoking herring. The process of smoking fish was crucial for extending its shelf life before refrigeration became widely available. It required skill and patience to ensure that each herring was properly cured and preserved.
The artist behind this detailed engraving is Jacob Nilson, whose work was featured in Gottlieb Tobias Wilhelm's Encyclopedia of Natural History: Fish. Wilhelm himself was a Bavarian clergyman and naturalist who earned recognition as the German Buffon for his contributions to natural history.
Overall, this print serves as both a historical document and a stunning piece of art that captures the essence of traditional fishing practices in the 18th century.
