EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored engraving, created by Annedouche after an illustration by Oudart for Charles d'Orbigny's Dictionnaire Universel d'Histoire Naturelle (Universal Dictionary of Natural History), published in Paris in 1849, showcases two fascinating marine species: the Saddleback Clownfish (Amphiprion polymnus, previously known as Amphiprion bifasciatus) and the Whitecheek Monocle Bream (Scolopsis vosmeri, previously known as Scolopsides vosmeri). The Saddleback Clownfish, also known as the Saddleback Anemonefish, is a vibrant and distinctive marine species, characterized by its vertical, alternating black and white stripes and its distinctive orange coloration with white spots. These small, tropical fish are anemonefish, meaning they live among sea anemones for protection. They are found in the Indo-Pacific region and are known for their symbiotic relationship with the anemone, which provides them with food and shelter in exchange for their cleaning services. The Whitecheek Monocle Bream, also known as the Whitecheek Scolopsid, is a small, white, bottom-dwelling fish with a distinctive black spot above each eye, resembling a monocle. This fish is native to the Indian and Pacific Oceans and is a popular food source in some areas. They are known for their ability to change color to blend in with their surroundings, making them difficult to spot. This beautiful engraving not only showcases the intricate details of these two species but also provides a glimpse into the natural history of the late 19th century, when such detailed illustrations were considered essential for scientific exploration and discovery. The use of hand-coloring adds an additional layer of artistry to the piece, making it a true work of beauty and historical significance.
