EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolor painting, titled "Oligoplites Saurus, or Leatherjacket," is a captivating illustration of a fish species discovered during Captain James Cook's historic first voyage to explore the southern continent from 1768 to 1771. Created by the skilled hand of Sydney Parkinson, this beautiful work of art is a testament to the rich biodiversity encountered during the expedition. The Leatherjacket, scientifically known as Oligoplites saurus, is a member of the Carangidae family, which belongs to the larger group of Actinopterygii, or ray-finned fish. This particular specimen is a perciform fish, characterized by its compressed body shape and dorsal fin with spines. The Leatherjacket's vibrant blue coloration and forked tail fin make it a striking addition to the waters of the southern hemisphere. This illustration not only showcases the natural beauty of the Leatherjacket but also serves as a reminder of the groundbreaking exploration and discovery that took place during Captain Cook's journey. The 18th century adventure brought about significant advancements in our understanding of the world and its diverse inhabitants, including the identification of numerous new species. As a valuable addition to any collection, this exquisite watercolor painting by Sydney Parkinson is a testament to the artistry and scientific curiosity of the past. Its intricate details and vivid colors bring the Leatherjacket to life, transporting us back to the time of Captain Cook's daring expeditions and the wonders of the natural world that awaited discovery.
