EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite pencil sketch of the Florida Pompano, Trachinotus carolinus, is a captivating reminder of the natural wonders discovered during Captain James Cook's second voyage to explore the southern continent between 1772 and 1775. The illustration was created by the renowned naturalist Johann George Adam Forster during this historic expedition. Forster, who accompanied Cook as a naturalist and scientist, meticulously documented the diverse flora and fauna they encountered in the Americas, including this striking bony fish. The Florida Pompano, a member of the Carangidae family, is a highly prized game fish found in the Atlantic Ocean along the eastern coast of North America. Its vibrant colors and distinctive markings are beautifully captured in this 18th-century drawing. The Pompano's elongated body, large pectoral fins, and sharp, pointed snout are all depicted with remarkable detail and accuracy. This illustration, which is part of the extensive collection of natural history records produced during Cook's voyages, offers a fascinating glimpse into the natural world as it was discovered and documented during the Age of Exploration. The collaboration between Cook and Forster, as well as the skilled artistry of the illustrator, resulted in a body of work that remains an invaluable resource for scientists, historians, and anyone with an interest in the natural history of the New World.
