EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 138" of Marcus Elieser Bloch's "Naturgeschichte der ausländischen Fische" (Natural History of Foreign Fishes), published between 1785 and 1795, features an intricately detailed illustration of the Ostracion nasus, also known as the Rhynchostracion nasus or the longnose boxfish. This bony fish belongs to the Ostraciidae family, which is characterized by its unique, cube-shaped body and bony plates covering its skin. The Ostracion nasus is a small, tropical marine fish, typically found in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. It is easily recognizable by its elongated snout, which gives it its other common name, the longnose boxfish. The fish in this illustration is depicted with its body covered in a mottled pattern of brown and white spots, and its dorsal and anal fins are folded against its body. Bloch's illustration is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and scientific accuracy that characterized natural history publications of the 19th century. The artist has captured the unique features of the Ostracion nasus with great precision, from the tiny scales on its body to the delicate folds of its fins. The background of the plate is adorned with a decorative border, adding to the overall elegance and beauty of the illustration. Bloch's "Naturgeschichte der ausländischen Fische" was a groundbreaking work in the field of ichthyology, documenting over 3,000 species of fish from around the world. The publication of this work marked a significant advancement in the scientific understanding of the diverse and complex world of fish, and it remains an important resource for researchers and enthusiasts today. This image of the Ostracion nasus is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a window into the world of 19th century natural history and the remarkable discoveries made during that era.
