EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration dates back to 1849, showcasing the smallhead flying fish (Exocoetus volitans) in all its grace and beauty. Belonging to the kingdom Animalia, this aquatic creature is a fascinating example of fauna that defies the laws of gravity. The smallhead flying fish is not only an animal, but a marvel of nature, with a long, tubular body that stretches up to 30 centimeters in length. Its most distinctive feature is the pair of wing-like fins located on its back, which it uses to glide above the water's surface for short distances. The smallhead flying fish is a classic example of a creature that appears to be straight out of a nostalgic, vintage illustration. In this illustration, we can appreciate the intricate details of its body, from the curves of its dorsal fin to the wide, pectoral fins that propel it through the water. The rear of the fish is equally impressive, with its long, slender tail providing the power needed for propulsion. The smallhead flying fish is a marine creature that is found in warm waters around the world. It is a common sight in the Caribbean and the Atlantic Ocean. Despite its name, this fish is not actually capable of true flight, but rather uses its fins to leap out of the water and glide for short distances, allowing it to escape predators and navigate through different water conditions. This illustration, with its classic, nostalgic charm, is a reminder of the rich and diverse world of wildlife that exists beneath the waves. It is a testament to the beauty and wonder of nature, and a reminder of the importance of preserving it for future generations to enjoy.
