EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate stipple engraving captures the beauty and diversity of marine life with intricate detail. The image features two distinct species - the Damselfish, Chromis chromis, also known as Castagnole commune, and the climbing perch, Anabas testudineus.
The Damselfish is a vibrant and colorful fish that can be found in tropical waters around the world. Its striking blue and yellow hues stand out against the backdrop of coral reefs where it typically resides. In contrast, the climbing perch is a unique freshwater fish known for its ability to survive out of water by using its specialized gills to breathe air.
Illustrated by J.G. Pretre and engraved by Massard under the direction of Turpin, this print is part of Jussieu's "Dictionary of Natural Sciences" published between 1816-1830. The volumes on fish and reptiles were curated by Hippolyte Cloquet, a renowned natural historian and doctor of medicine.
This exquisite artwork not only serves as a visual delight but also educates viewers about these fascinating creatures that inhabit our oceans and rivers. It is a testament to the skillful artistry and scientific accuracy that was characteristic of natural history illustrations during this period.
