EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving captures the mesmerizing beauty of two unique and mysterious underwater creatures - the Black ghost, apteronote a front blanc, Apteronotus albifrons, and the conger eel, leptocephale morrisien, Conger conger. The intricate details of these marine species are brought to life through the skilled artistry of J.G. Pretre and the precise engraving by Plee.
The Black ghost apteronote is known for its striking black coloration and ethereal appearance as it glides gracefully through the water. Its white front adds a contrasting touch to its dark body, creating a captivating visual contrast.
In contrast, the conger eel is depicted in its larval stage as a leptocephalus morrisien with its elongated transparent body. This stage of development showcases the eel's unique biology and evolutionary journey from larvae to adult form.
Published in Jussieu's "Dictionary of Natural Sciences" between 1816-1830, this print serves as both an educational resource and a work of art. It highlights the diversity and wonder of marine life while also showcasing the talent and dedication of natural historians like Hippolyte Cloquet who curated these volumes.
Overall, this enchanting print invites viewers to marvel at the beauty and complexity of our underwater world while appreciating the skillful craftsmanship that went into creating such a detailed illustration.
