EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored copperplate stipple engraving, published by F. G. Levrault between 1816 and 1830, showcases three intriguing fish species: the Snipe or Trumpet Fish (Macroramphosus scolopax), the Grooved Razorfish (Centriscus scutatus), and the Hippolyte Cloquet (name not provided in the caption). The illustration was created by the skilled artist Jean Gabriel Pretre, who was a painter of natural history at Empress Josephine's zoo and later became an artist at the Museum of Natural History. The Snipe or Trumpet Fish, depicted in the center of the print, is identified by its distinctive elongated snout and vibrant colors. This tropical marine fish is known for its ability to change color and shape to blend in with its surroundings, making it an excellent camouflage. To the left of the Snipe or Trumpet Fish, the Grooved Razorfish can be seen. Its body is adorned with small, raised ridges, and it possesses venomous spines along its dorsal and pectoral fins. This fish is a common inhabitant of the Indo-Pacific region and is known for its aggressive behavior towards other fish. The identity of the third fish, the Hippolyte Cloquet, is unknown without further information. However, it is depicted with a striking red and white coloration and a large, protruding lower jaw. This beautiful and intricate engraving, engraved by Massard under the direction of Turpin, is a testament to the remarkable detail and artistry of natural history illustrations during this period. The use of handcoloring adds an extra layer of depth and vibrancy to the already stunning artwork.
