LS Plate 159 from the John Reeves Collection: A Striking Portrayal of a Pink-Striped Asian Fish This illustration, LS Plate 159 from the John Reeves Collection, showcases a vibrant and intricately detailed pink-striped fish native to Asian waters. John Reeves, a renowned 19th century Tea Inspector, traveled extensively to Canton, China, amassing an impressive collection of Chinese natural history drawings. Reeves' meticulous attention to anatomy and observation is evident in this stunning illustration. The fish's elongated body, adorned with distinct pink and brown stripes, glides gracefully through the water. Its large, expressive eye fixes the viewer with a keen gaze, while its fin structures are rendered with remarkable precision. The pink-striped fish, with its unique spotted fins, is a testament to the rich biodiversity of Asian aquatic life during the 19th century. Reeves' dedication to documenting these creatures not only expanded scientific knowledge but also provided a visual record of the natural world that continues to inspire and captivate audiences today. This illustration, with its vivid colors and intricate details, offers a glimpse into the natural history of Asia during the 19th century. The John Reeves Collection, housed in the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, is a valuable resource for researchers, historians, and anyone interested in the natural world. LS Plate 159 stands out as a particularly striking example of Reeves' exceptional talent and dedication to documenting the natural world.
