EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate stipple engraving, taken from Jussieu's Dictionnaire des Sciences Naturelles published between 1816 and 1830, showcases two fascinating underwater species: the Jack-knifefish, Equetus lanceolatus, and the Spinecheek Anemonefish, Premnas biaculeatus. The illustration, painted by Jean Gabriel Pretre and engraved by Massard under the direction of Turpin, was published by F.G. Levrault. Pretre, a painter of natural history at Empress Josephine's zoo, expertly captured the intricate details of these aquatic creatures. The Jack-knifefish, also known as the Knifefish or Knife-fish, is depicted with its elongated, torpedo-shaped body and distinctive dorsal and pectoral fins that resemble knives. The fish's mouth is slightly open, revealing its sharp, needle-like teeth. The Spinecheek Anemonefish, or Clownfish as they are commonly known, is shown swimming near an anemone. The fish's vibrant orange and white coloration with black stripes is clearly visible, as are its distinctive spine-like protrusions on its gills. The Spinecheek Anemonefish is an obligate symbiont of sea anemones, living among their tentacles for protection from predators. This stunning engraving offers a glimpse into the natural world of the early 19th century, showcasing the meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill of its creators. The intricate stipple engraving technique, which involves the application of tiny dots to create shading and depth, adds to the overall beauty and realism of the illustration.
