EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving, created by Plee Sr. after an illustration by Jean-Gabriel Pretre, showcases three vibrant and intricately designed underwater creatures: the Damsel Fish (Sparus chromis), Ringtail Pike Cichlid (Crenicichla saxatilis), and Redbreasted Wrasse (Cheilinus fasciatus). The Damsel Fish, also known as the Three-spine Stickleback or the Maron Paon, is a small, slender fish with a striking appearance. Its body is adorned with shimmering blue and green scales, while three distinctive spines protrude from its dorsal fin. The Damsel Fish is a popular subject in marine aquariums due to its lively and colorful disposition. The Ringtail Pike Cichlid, also referred to as the Saxatil or the Red-tailed Cichlid, is a large, powerful fish native to South America. Its body is covered in dark, mottled patterns, while its caudal fin is a brilliant red color. This predatory fish is a staple in the aquarium trade and is known for its aggressive behavior towards other fish. The Redbreasted Wrasse, also known as the Redbreast Parrotfish or the Redbreasted Angelfish, is a beautiful and colorful fish found in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Its body is covered in iridescent scales that shift from blue to green, while its face and pectoral fins are a vibrant red color. The Redbreasted Wrasse is an important member of its ecosystem, as it helps to control algae growth and maintain the health of coral reefs. This stunning engraving, taken from Bernard Germain de Lacepede's Natural History of Oviparous Quadrupeds, Snakes, Fish and Cetaceans, published in Paris in 1825, captures the unique beauty and intricacy of these three fascinating underwater creatures. The meticulous attention to detail in the engraving process brings out the vivid colors and textures of each fish, making it a true work of art.
