EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored etching is an exquisite representation of three remarkable fish species found in the Caribbean waters of North America during the 18th century. The central figure is the Thyrsites atun, commonly known as the barracuda, with its distinctive long, slender body and large, toothy mouth. The barracuda is a powerful predator and an essential component of the marine food chain. Its forked dorsal fin is clearly visible in this meticulously detailed illustration. To the left of the barracuda is the Albula vulpes, or the Atlantic spangled emperor, also known as the cape snoek or the Caribbean bonefish. This fish is a member of the Albulidae family and is characterized by its elongated, slender body and silver-white coloration with dark spots. The Albula vulpes is a popular game fish and is highly valued for its delicious taste and firm texture. On the right side of the etching is the Albula vulpis, or the Atlantic bonito, also known as the little tuna or the false albacore. This fish is a member of the Scombridae family and is easily distinguishable by its long, slender body and dark, lateral stripes. The Atlantic bonito is a fast-swimming, schooling fish and is an essential food source for larger predators. This stunning etching is taken from "The Natural History of Carolina, Florida and the Bahama Islands" by Mark Catesby, published in 1731. Catesby's work is considered one of the most important contributions to the natural history of North America, and his meticulous illustrations continue to inspire and captivate audiences today. This particular etching showcases the remarkable diversity and beauty of the marine life found in the Caribbean waters of North America during the 18th century.
