Plate 24
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Louis-Isidore Duperrey, a renowned naturalist and artist of the nineteenth century, is an exquisite illustration from his seminal work, "Voyage de la Coquille" (1822-1825), which documents the zoological discoveries made during the Coquille expedition. This stunning print showcases a solitary, blue-hued fish with distinctive stripes and irregular spots, its body elongated and streamlined for efficient swimming. The fish's large, round eye gazes intently, reflecting the depths of the ocean from which it hails. The fish's most striking feature, however, is its dorsal fin, adorned with spiky projections that seem to bristle with energy. This fin, along with the fish's powerful, brown tail, reveals the animal's dynamic anatomy, perfectly suited for navigating the vast, open waters. Duperrey's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate rendering of the fish's scales, each one shimmering with a subtle, iridescent sheen. This illustration, a product of the Victorian era's fascination with the natural world, offers a glimpse into the wonders of the deep sea and the remarkable creatures that inhabit it. The rich, blue background adds depth and dimension to the image, further emphasizing the fish's otherworldly allure. A true testament to Duperrey's artistic prowess and his unwavering commitment to documenting the natural world, Plate 24 remains an enduring masterpiece of nineteenth-century zoological illustration.
