EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored copperplate print showcases the Pouting, Trisopterus luscus, also known as the Bib, Whiting, or Common Pouting. 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's illustration captures the intricate details of this small, bottom-dwelling marine fish, which is native to the North Atlantic and North Sea. The Pouting is depicted in a pouting position, with its mouth turned down in a sad or displeased expression, giving it its common name. This fish is a popular target for anglers due to its delicious taste and abundant populations. The print accurately depicts the fish's elongated, slender body, dorsal and anal fins, and small pectoral fins. The scales on its body are also clearly visible, as are its small eyes and gill covers. The intricate details of this print are a testament to the skill and dedication of Edward Donovan and the artisans who brought his illustrations to life through hand-coloring and engraving. Donovan's Natural History of British Fishes was a groundbreaking work in the field of ichthyology and zoology, helping to advance scientific knowledge of the diverse range of fish species found in British waters. This print is a beautiful and fascinating reminder of the rich natural history of the marine world and the importance of scientific exploration and documentation.
