EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored etching depicts the Common Remora, Remora remora, a fascinating marine creature found in the Caribbean Sea and along the coasts of North America. The image is taken from "The Natural History of Carolina, Florida and the Bahama Islands" by Mark Catesby, published in 1731. Catesby's meticulous illustrations were among the first accurate records of the natural history of the New World. The Common Remora is a type of shark-like fish, belonging to the family Echeneidae, order Perciformes, class Actinopterygii, and phylum Osteichthyes. It is easily recognizable by its unique dorsal fin, which is not used for swimming but instead functions as an organ for attachment. The Remora is an intriguing parasitic fish, often hitching a ride on larger marine animals, such as sharks and whales, by attaching itself to their bodies using its suction disc. The Common Remora plays an essential role in the marine ecosystem as a cleaner fish. It feeds on parasites and dead skin cells of its host, providing a valuable service in maintaining the health of larger marine animals. The etching captures the intricate details of the Remora's body, from its elongated snout and small pectoral fins to its distinctive dorsal fin and lateral line. This 18th-century illustration is a testament to the natural history exploration of North America and the Caribbean during the colonial era. The meticulous hand-coloring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a beautiful and informative piece of art and science history.
