EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored copperplate engraving, created by Albert Massard after an illustration by Jean-Gabriel Pretre, showcases three fascinating deep-sea creatures: the Sargassum pipefish (Syngnathus typhle), little dragonfish (Eurypegasus draconis), and longtail seamouth (Pegasus volitans). The image is taken from the Natural History of Oviparous Quadrupeds, Snakes, Fish and Cetaceans, published by Bernard Germain de Lacepede in Paris in 1825. The Sargassum pipefish, also known as the macrorhinic argenté pipefish or the longsnout pipefish, is a small, elongated fish with a pipe-like body and a long snout. It is commonly found in the Atlantic Ocean, often hiding among Sargassum seaweed. The little dragonfish, also known as the longnose dragonfish or the longnose lizardfish, is a deep-sea fish characterized by its long, slender body and a long, pointed snout. Its coloration is silver with dark spots, making it well-camouflaged against the deep-sea environment. The longtail seamouth, also known as the longtail dragonfish or the longtail pegasus, is a unique fish with a long, flat body and a long, pointed tail. Its coloration is grayish-brown with dark spots, and it is often found in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. These three fascinating creatures are depicted in remarkable detail in this beautiful engraving, which captures their intricate patterns and subtle coloration. The skillful use of hand-coloring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a true work of art and a testament to the natural wonders of the deep sea.
