EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 187" of "Naturgeschichte der ausländischen Fische: mit sechs und dreissig Ausgemalten kupfern nach originalen" (Natural History of Foreign Fishes: With Sixteen and Thirty Copperplates after Originals), published between 1785 and 1795, features an exquisite illustration of the Pleuronectes zebra, also known as the zebra sole or the right-eyed flounder (Synaptura zebra). This flatfish is a member of the Pleuronectidae family, order Pleuronectiformes, and class Actinopterygii (ray-finned fish). Marcus Elieser Bloch, a renowned German naturalist and zoologist, was the author and compiler of this comprehensive work on foreign fishes. The illustration was produced based on original specimens, showcasing the intricate details of the Pleuronectes zebra's anatomy, including its distinctive zebra-like stripes and its unique flat body with one eye on the right side. The Pleuronectes zebra is a common flatfish found in the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. It is an important food source for humans and is often consumed in European cuisine. The flatfish's ability to change the color and pattern of its skin to blend in with the seafloor makes it an excellent camouflage against predators. This stunning 19th-century illustration offers a glimpse into the natural history of the Pleuronectes zebra and the meticulous work of Marcus Elieser Bloch and his collaborators. The intricate details captured in the copperplate print demonstrate the advanced techniques and expertise of the time, providing valuable insights into the natural world and the scientific curiosity that drove the exploration and documentation of various species. The Pleuronectes zebra remains an essential part of marine ecosystems, and its illustration in "Naturgeschichte der ausländischen Fische" serves as a testament to the enduring importance of natural history records and the beauty of the natural world.
