EDITORS COMMENTS
This close-up illustration is taken from Plate 178 (LS) of the John Reeves Collection, showcasing the intricate details of the Clown Triggerfish, Balistoides conspicillum. John Reeves, an accomplished 19th Century Tea Inspector, embarked on an extraordinary journey to Canton, China, with a passion for natural history that led him to amass an impressive collection of Chinese drawings. The Clown Triggerfish, a member of the Balistidae family within the Actinopterygii order, is a distinctive bony fish characterized by its unique appearance and behavior. With its vibrant colors and contrasting markings, this tropical marine fish is a popular sight among divers and marine enthusiasts. The fish's body is adorned with bold, white spots, and its head features a distinctive black 'trigger' that it uses to defend itself. This exquisite illustration, produced during the 19th Century, is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship of the time. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the rendering of the fish's scales, fins, and expressive eyes. As a member of the Tetraodontiformes order, the Clown Triggerfish is part of a diverse group of ray-finned fishes, which includes pufferfish and anglerfish. The John Reeves Collection, now housed in the Natural History Museum in London, is a valuable resource for researchers and scholars, providing insights into the natural history of China during the 19th Century. This illustration of the Clown Triggerfish is a reminder of the rich biodiversity of our oceans and the importance of preserving and documenting the natural world for future generations.
