This image showcases the vibrant colors and intricate patterns of a Ctenolabrus rupestris, or Goldsinny Wrasse, a stunning marine fish species native to the Mediterranean and the eastern Atlantic Ocean. Dating back to 1864, this photograph captures the essence of the natural world during the Victorian era, a time when the exploration and documentation of new species were of great interest and importance. The Goldsinny Wrasse, also known as Jagos Goldsinny or Jagos, is a medium-sized wrasse characterized by its brown body with orange spots and stripes.

The photograph, taken in the 1860s, offers a glimpse into the rich biodiversity of the marine world that was being discovered during this period. The intricacies of the fish's scales and the clarity of the water in the image are a testament to the advanced photographic techniques of the time. As a historical artifact, this photograph not only showcases the beauty of the Goldsinny Wrasse but also highlights the importance of scientific exploration and documentation during the Victorian era. It serves as a reminder of the natural wonders that lie beneath the waves and the importance of preserving and protecting marine ecosystems for future generations to enjoy. In summary, this photograph of a Ctenolabrus rupestris, or Goldsinny Wrasse, taken in 1864, is a captivating snapshot of the natural world during the Victorian era. Its vivid colors, intricate patterns, and historical significance make it a valuable addition to any collection of natural history or marine life images.
