EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 34 from the enchanting collection of watercolor drawings of Hawaiian fishes and invertebrates, created by the talented hand of E. Gertrude Norrie in the early 1900s. This beautiful work of art showcases the Anampses cuvier, also known as the Pearl Wrasse or Opule, a striking bony fish belonging to the Labridae family. The Perciformes order, which includes this wrasse, is characterized by their compressed bodies and ray-finned tails. E. Gertrude Norrie, an accomplished artist from North America, captures the vibrant colors and intricate details of this female Pearl Wrasse with remarkable accuracy and artistry. The fish is depicted with its pearly white underbelly, contrasting beautifully with its dark blue-green back and orange-red fins. The artist's delicate brushstrokes bring the wrasse's expressive eyes and subtle patterns to life, making this illustration an exquisite example of early 20th-century zoological art. The Anampses cuvier is native to the waters of the Indo-Pacific region, including Hawaii, and is a popular aquarium fish due to its attractive appearance and relatively peaceful demeanor. This pearl wrasse plays an essential role in its ecosystem by controlling populations of herbivorous fishes, contributing to the balance of the marine environment. This stunning watercolor drawing is a testament to the rich history of natural history illustration and the captivating biodiversity of the Hawaiian Islands. E. Gertrude Norrie's masterful artwork invites us to explore the wonders of the underwater world and appreciate the beauty and importance of each unique creature.
