EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a steel engraving of Characidae, Pl. XLVII, skillfully created by Coutant after an original engraving by Nicola Huet. The artwork is part of the renowned Recueil d'observation de zoologie et d'anatomie comparée, Deuxième Partie, authored by Al. v. Humboldt et A. Bonplant and published in Paris in 1821. Measuring at 32.7x25.2 cm, this color engraving beautifully captures the essence of two fascinating fish species belonging to the Characidae family: Serrasalmo albus (also known as Pygocentrus cariba) and Myletes paco (also known as Colossoma paco). These remarkable creatures are native to South America; Serrasalmo albus can be found in the Orinoco River while Myletes paco inhabits the Amazon River. The intricate details portrayed in this scientific illustration provide a glimpse into the world of these unique aquatic beings. With its historical significance and artistic finesse, this print serves as a testament to Friedrich Alexander von Humboldt's contributions to natural science. Preserved at Humboldt-Universitaet in Berlin, Germany, this image is now available for public viewing thanks to eHumboldt Innovation and eHumboldt-Universitaet zu Berlin. As it falls under public domain due to its age, it continues to inspire awe among those who
