EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, dated 1864, showcases two stunning species of wrasse fish: the Green Wrasse (Labrus viridis) and the Comber Wrasse (Labrus comber). The image transports us back to the Victorian era, a time when natural history was a source of great fascination and exploration. The Green Wrasse, also known as the European Seawrasse or the Common Wrasse, is depicted on the left side of the image. With its vibrant green body and distinctive orange spots, this fish is a sight to behold. Its intricate markings are not only visually appealing but also serve as camouflage, helping the fish blend in with its rocky underwater habitats. On the right side of the photograph lies the Comber Wrasse, or the Red-mouthed Wrasse. This wrasse species is characterized by its orange body, with a prominent red line running along its lower jaw and lips. The Comber Wrasse's body is adorned with a series of spots, adding to its allure. Both species are native to the Atlantic and Mediterranean seas, and they have been a subject of interest for naturalists and marine biologists for centuries. Their striking appearances, diverse habitats, and intriguing behaviors continue to captivate researchers and enthusiasts alike. This photograph, a testament to the natural beauty of the marine world, offers a glimpse into the past while reminding us of the importance of preserving the rich biodiversity of our oceans for future generations. The Green Wrasse and Comber Wrasse, with their unique markings and vibrant colors, serve as a reminder of the wonders that lie beneath the waves.
