EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving from the 19th century showcases a collection of strange and fascinating sharks. The print, titled "Strange kinds of sharks" is a testament to the rich diversity found in the depths of our oceans. The artwork features various species of sharks, each depicted with intricate detail and vibrant colors. Among them are the Nasenhai or Heringshai, known for its distinctive nose-like snout; the Meerschwein von Nizza or Alligatorhai, resembling a sea pig from Nice; and the darkly colored Dunkelhai. Also showcased are unique specimens such as the Meerschwein with belly fin spines or Zwerghai, along with a menacing man-eater sporting black fins. These intriguing creatures coexist alongside other marine life including fish like Lamia cornubica and Scymnus spinosus. Published by Friedrich Justin Bertuch in his renowned Picture Book for Children between 1790-1830, this print offers an educational glimpse into nature's wonders during that era. Preserved within a private collection today, it continues to captivate viewers with its historical significance. Through this engraving's meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail, we are reminded of both the beauty and mystery that lie beneath our planet's vast blue expanse. It serves as a reminder that even in centuries past, humans were fascinated by these magnificent creatures who roam our oceans' depths - forever inspiring awe and respect for their existence.
