EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored etching depicts the Mormyrus ex cinereo nigricans, commonly known as the bone-fish or elephantfish, as illustrated in Mark Catesby's seminal work, "The Natural History of Carolina, Florida and the Bahama Islands" published in 1731. Catesby, an English naturalist, meticulously documented the diverse flora and fauna of the American South and Caribbean during his travels between 1712 and 1721. The bone-fish is a bony fish belonging to the family Mormyridae, order Albuliformes, and is native to the Atlantic coast of the Americas from Florida to Brazil. This elongated, eel-like fish is characterized by its forked caudal fin, large, protruding snout, and distinctive, bony plates covering its body. The bone-fish is a nocturnal, bottom-dwelling species that feeds primarily on crustaceans and mollusks. Catesby's illustration captures the bone-fish's unique features with remarkable detail and accuracy. The fish is shown in a lifelike pose, its body glistening with a blue sheen, reflecting the underwater environment it inhabits. The intricate etching technique used to create this print highlights the fish's textured scales and the delicate patterns on its body. The bone-fish holds significant cultural and historical importance, not only as a subject of scientific interest but also as a highly prized game fish. Anglers from around the world travel to the Caribbean and Florida to catch this elusive and challenging fish, which is known for its powerful runs and acrobatic jumps. This beautiful etching is a testament to Catesby's remarkable talent as an artist and naturalist, and serves as an enduring record of the natural history of the American South and Caribbean during the 18th century.
