EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving, titled "Nile Perch and Sleeper Fish," is an exquisite illustration from Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali, published in Florence, Italy, in 1837. The illustration was engraved by Carini, drawn by Jean Gabriel Pretre, and directed by the renowned French botanical illustrator Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin (1775-1840). The illustration features two distinct fish species: the Nile Perch (Lates niloticus) and the Sleeper Fish or Gudgeon (Ophiocara macrolepidota). The Nile Perch, also known as the Tilapia, is a large, powerful fish that can grow up to 1.5 meters in length. Its vibrant, golden coloration and large size make it a striking sight in the waters of the Nile and other African lakes. In contrast, the Sleeper Fish is a small, brownish-gray fish that resembles a minnow. It is named for its ability to sleep with one eye open, making it an intriguing and mysterious creature of the water. The intricate detail and lifelike quality of this engraving are a testament to the skill and artistry of the illustrators involved. The delicate shading and precise lines capture the textures and patterns of the fish's scales, while the vibrant colors bring the illustration to life. This illustration is a valuable addition to any collection of historical marine and ichthyology prints. Its beauty and historical significance make it a must-have for scholars, collectors, and anyone with an appreciation for the natural world.
