EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning illustration, LS Plate 178 from the John Reeves Collection, showcases the intricate details of the Clown Triggerfish, Balistoides conspicillum. John Reeves, a 19th Century Tea Inspector, embarked on a remarkable journey to Canton, China with the primary intention of expanding a significant collection of Chinese natural history drawings. The Clown Triggerfish, a resident of the Indo-Pacific region, is easily recognizable with its distinctive features, including its large, brown body, long dorsal and anal fins, and the prominent white spot on its belly in the shape of a trigger. The fish's lips are adorned with small, white spots, adding to its unique appearance. Reeves' meticulous attention to detail is evident in this exquisite painting, which accurately depicts the fish's dorsal and pectoral fins, as well as its distinctive, triangular pectoral fins. The Clown Triggerfish is a bony fish belonging to the Balistidae family, characterized by its ability to lock its dorsal and pectoral spines into a defensive position. This illustration provides an invaluable record of the species, offering a glimpse into the rich marine biodiversity of the Asian waters during the 19th Century. The captivating colors and intricate details in this illustration serve as a testament to Reeves' artistic skill and dedication to documenting the natural world. The Clown Triggerfish, with its expressive eyes and vibrant colors, continues to captivate and inspire marine enthusiasts and artists alike, making this illustration a cherished addition to any natural history collection.
