EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored copperplate stipple engraving, titled "Blueband Goby, Valenciennea strigata, and Shark," is an exquisite example of natural history illustration from the early 19th century. The illustration, created by the skilled hand of painter Jean Gabriel Pretre and expertly engraved by Massard under the direction of Turpin, was published by F.G. Levrault and featured in Jussieu's Dictionnaire des Sciences Naturelles between 1816 and 1830. The image depicts a Blueband Goby, Valenciennea strigata, a small, colorful fish, clinging to the side of a shark. The goby is a master of disguise, using its blue and white stripes to blend in with the shark's underbelly, making it difficult for predators to spot. The shark, a powerful and efficient predator, swims gracefully through the water, its sleek body gliding effortlessly through the waves. Another intriguing creature in this illustration is the shark sucker, Remora remora, which can be seen attached to the shark's back. Also known as a remora or hitchhiking shark, this small, disc-shaped fish attaches itself to larger marine animals, such as sharks, rays, and turtles, and travels with them for protection and food. This beautiful and intricately detailed engraving is a testament to the remarkable artistry and scientific knowledge of the time. It provides a glimpse into the natural world of the early 19th century and showcases the beauty and diversity of marine life.
