EDITORS COMMENTS
from the "Voyage de la Coquille" (1822-1825) by Louis-Isidore Duperrey is an exquisite illustration showcasing two stunningly beautiful fish species, the "Girelle pao" and the "Girelle a demi paree." This nineteenth-century zoological masterpiece, published in the accompanying atlas in 1826, offers a captivating glimpse into the rich marine life discovered during the Coquille expedition. Duperrey's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate depiction of these fish, their scales shimmering in various shades of blue, with vibrant red, yellow, and brown patterns adorning their bodies. The "Girelle pao," labeled on the left, boasts a more uniform, striped pattern, while the "Girelle a demi paree," on the right, displays a more elaborate, semi-dressed pattern, with a striking red line running along its side. The anatomy of these fish is rendered with remarkable accuracy, their fins and gills clearly visible, revealing their classification as bony fish (Actinopterygii), ray-finned fish (Perciformes), and perciformes (Perciformes). The labridae family, to which these fish belong, is characterized by their labyrinth organ, which allows them to breathe air from the surface when necessary. This illustration, a testament to the natural history exploration of the nineteenth century, invites us to appreciate the beauty and diversity of the underwater world. With its intricate details and vivid colors, Plate 35 by Louis-Isidore Duperrey remains a stunning example of the artistry and scientific curiosity of the Victorian era.
