LS Plate 177 from the John Reeves Collection: A Stunning 19th Century Illustration of a Blue-Spotted Ray from Canton, China This exquisite silver-printed illustration, LS Plate 177 from the John Reeves Collection, showcases the intricate details of a Blue-Spotted Ray (Torpedo marmorata), a magnificent elasmobranch fish native to the waters of Asia. John Reeves, a renowned 19th Century Tea Inspector, traveled extensively to Canton, China, where he amassed an impressive collection of Chinese natural history drawings. The Blue-Spotted Ray, depicted in this illustration, is a member of the Batoidea order and the Elasmobranchii family. Its body is elongated and flat, with a distinctive brown, wing-like pectoral fin that allows it to glide gracefully through the water. The fish is covered in small, blue spots, which provide excellent camouflage against the sandy ocean floor. The illustration, rendered in meticulous detail, highlights the ray's distinctive features, including its long, slender tail, sharp, serrated gill slits, and the lance-like tail fin that propels it through the water. The fish's scales, shown in close-up, reveal their intricate, hexagonal patterns. The illustration's vibrant colors and lifelike details offer a glimpse into the rich biodiversity of the Asian waters during the 19th Century. The John Reeves Collection, now housed in the Natural History Museum in London, is an invaluable resource for researchers and historians studying the natural history of China during this period. This stunning illustration is a testament to the skill and dedication of John Reeves and the artists who worked with him, who captured the beauty and diversity of the natural world with remarkable accuracy and artistry.
