LS Plate 151: A Stunning 19th Century Illustration of a Lionfish from the John Reeves Collection This exquisite print showcases a lionfish (Pterois volitans), one of the most iconic and intriguing marine creatures from the waters of the Indo-Pacific region. The illustration is part of the extensive John Reeves Collection, which was compiled during the 19th century by the British tea inspector and naturalist, John Reeves, during his travels to Canton, China. Reeves' collection is renowned for its high-quality and detailed depictions of Asian flora and fauna, including a vast array of fish species. This particular illustration, LS Plate 151, is a testament to the skill and accuracy of the Chinese artists who worked under Reeves' direction. The lionfish is a bony fish, belonging to the order Scorpaeniformes and the family Scorpaenidae. Its distinctive features include its long, venomous spines, elongated pectoral and dorsal fins, and vibrant colors. The fish's body is adorned with a pattern of alternating bands of white, yellow, and red, making it a striking sight in its natural habitat. The illustration captures the fish's unique features in meticulous detail, with each scale, fin ray, and spine rendered with precision. The artist has also captured the fish's expressive eyes and the subtle shading that adds depth and texture to the illustration. This print is a valuable addition to any collection of natural history art, offering a glimpse into the rich biodiversity of the Asian waters during the 19th century. The John Reeves Collection continues to inspire and fascinate researchers, naturalists, and art enthusiasts alike, providing a window into the natural world of a bygone era.
