EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite illustration, drawn by George Raper in 1789, showcases the anatomy of a Red Snapper or Pagrus auratus, a highly prized fish in the Lutjanidae family of the Perciformes order. Known for its vibrant pink hue and distinctive grey head, the Red Snapper is a bony fish, belonging to the Actinopterygii class of ray-finned fishes. The illustration, labeled as Drawing no 64, offers a detailed view of the fish's head, revealing its small, protruding lips and the distinctive bump on its upper lip, which is a common feature among snapper species. The Red Snapper is native to the Indo-Pacific region, and was commonly found in the waters around Australia during the late 18th century, as depicted in this illustration. George Raper, an accomplished naturalist and artist, created this illustration during the period of 1768 to 1797. Raper's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate rendering of the Red Snapper's scales, fins, and gills. The illustration provides a valuable record of the fish's anatomy, offering insights into the biology and taxonomy of this important marine species. The Red Snapper is a popular game fish and is highly valued for its delicious flavor and texture. Its popularity as a food source has continued into the present day, making this illustration not only a historical record but also a testament to the enduring appeal of this iconic fish.
