EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate engraving captures the beauty of Common carp, Cyprinus carpio, as three fishermen engage in the age-old tradition of fishing for carp in a river. The scene is alive with activity as each fisherman utilizes a different method - rod, net, and line - to try their luck at catching these prized creatures.
The intricate details of the engraving bring to life the texture of the scales on the carp and the determination on the faces of the fishermen. It's a snapshot in time that transports us back to 1804 when this illustration was first created by Gottlieb Tobias Wilhelm for his Encyclopedia of Natural History: Fish.
Wilhelm, a Bavarian clergyman and naturalist known as the German Buffon, had a passion for capturing the wonders of nature through his engravings. His attention to detail and dedication to accuracy shine through in this particular piece.
As we gaze upon this print, we can almost hear the sounds of rushing water and feel the anticipation that comes with waiting for a bite. It serves as a reminder of our connection to nature and how fishing has been an integral part of human history for centuries.
