EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 112 from the John Reeves Collection: A Stunning 19th Century Illustration of the Red Lionfish, Pterois volitans This exquisite illustration, Plate 112 from the John Reeves Collection, showcases the vibrant and intricately detailed features of the Red Lionfish, Pterois volitans. John Reeves, a 19th Century Tea Inspector, traveled extensively to Canton, China, amassing an impressive collection of Chinese natural history drawings. This illustration is a testament to his dedication and the artistic skill of the Chinese draftsmen who created it. The Red Lionfish, also known as the Turkeyfish or the Devil Firefish, is a venomous marine fish native to the Indo-Pacific region. With its distinctive red, white, and black coloration, the Red Lionfish resembles a lion with its venomous spines adorning its dorsal, anal, and pectoral fins. These spines are not only for display but also serve as a defense mechanism, delivering a painful and potentially deadly venom to predators. This illustration captures the Red Lionfish's beauty and intrigue, making it a pretty and decorative addition to any display of Asian natural history. The finely detailed feathered patterns on the fish's body and the delicate shading on its scales add to the overall elegance of the illustration. As a member of the Actinopterygii, or ray-finned fish, and the Osteichthyes, or bony fish, the Red Lionfish is an essential addition to any collection of 19th Century fish illustrations. This illustration, with its rich history and stunning detail, is a must-have for any enthusiast of natural history, marine biology, or the art of the 19th Century.
