John Reeves' LS Plate 166: A Vibrant and Detailed Illustration of a Pink-Finned Asian Fish from the John Reeves Collection John Reeves, a renowned 19th century Tea Inspector, embarked on an extraordinary journey to Canton, China, amassing an impressive collection of Chinese natural history drawings. Among his many discoveries was LS Plate 166, an exquisite illustration of an Asian fish with distinctive pink fins. The illustration showcases the fish in a serene setting, with lush greenery and a traditional Chinese umbrella in the background. The fish's scales shimmer in various shades of red and green, creating a captivating contrast against the cool tones of the surrounding environment. Its large, expressive eyes and finely detailed gills add to the overall sense of realism and intrigue. Reeves' meticulous attention to detail is evident in the delicate rendering of the fish's fins, which are adorned with delicate pink hues that add a touch of elegance to the illustration. The artist's skillful use of shading and perspective further enhances the three-dimensional quality of the fish, making it appear as if it could leap out of the page at any moment. This stunning illustration not only showcases the beauty and diversity of Asian aquatic life during the 19th century but also serves as a testament to John Reeves' unwavering dedication to documenting the natural world. LS Plate 166 remains a valuable addition to the John Reeves Collection and continues to inspire awe and admiration from collectors and natural history enthusiasts around the world.
