EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving, created by Plee Sr. after an original illustration by Jean-Gabriel Pretre, showcases three intriguing underwater species: the Chinese gizzard shad (Clupanodon thrissa), silver hatchetfish (Gasteropelecus levis), and moonfish (Mene maculata). The Chinese gizzard shad, also known as the Chinese herring, is a small, silvery fish native to the Eastern Hemisphere. It is an important food source for humans and is recognized for its distinctive, elongated snout and gizzard-like organs. The silver hatchetfish, or argentee anne caroline, is a small, electric fish native to the Atlantic Ocean. It derives its common name from its hatchet-shaped pectoral fins and silvery coloration. The fish is able to generate electric fields for communication and hunting purposes. The moonfish, or cailleu serpe, is a large, round, and flat-bodied fish found in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. It is easily recognizable by its distinctive, crescent-shaped tail and speckled body. Moonfish are filter feeders and are known to migrate long distances in search of food and suitable spawning grounds. This stunning engraving, taken from Bernard Germain de Lacepede's Natural History of Oviparous Quadrupeds, Snakes, Fish and Cetaceans, published in Paris in 1825, offers a glimpse into the rich and diverse world of underwater life during the early 19th century.
