Plate 145 from the John Reeves Collection: A Stunning 19th Century Illustration of a Hammerhead Shark, Sphyrna zygaena This illustration, Plate 145 from the John Reeves Collection, showcases the unique anatomy of a Hammerhead Shark, Sphyrna zygaena. John Reeves, a 19th Century Tea Inspector, journeyed to Canton, China, with a passion for natural history. During his travels, he amassed an impressive collection of Chinese drawings, including this exquisite depiction of one of the ocean's most intriguing predators. The Hammerhead Shark, also known as the Bonnethead Shark, is a member of the Chondrichthyes class, characterized by its cartilaginous skeleton. This elasmobranchii, or cartilaginous fish, is a part of the Carcharhiniformes order, commonly referred to as ground sharks. The Hammerhead Shark derives its name from its distinctive head shape, which resembles a hammer or a sieve. Its large, fan-like head is composed of two distinct eyes, set at the ends of the extended, flattened snout. These eyes provide the shark with a wider field of vision, allowing it to detect prey more effectively. This illustration offers a fascinating glimpse into the anatomy of this remarkable creature. The intricate details of the Hammerhead Shark's body, fins, and distinctive head are rendered with exceptional accuracy and artistry. The artist's skillful use of shading and texture brings the Hammerhead Shark to life, revealing the beauty and power of this elasmobranchii predator. As a testament to the natural history explorations of the 19th Century, this illustration stands as a reminder of the rich biodiversity of the Asian waters and the importance of documenting the natural world. Plate 145 from the John Reeves Collection continues to captivate and inspire, offering a window into the past and a connection to the wonders of the ocean.
