EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate print showcases the vibrant Red Bandfish, Cepola macrophthalma, also known as the Rubescent Bandfish or the Red-lined Seabass. The intricate detail and lifelike accuracy of this illustration, drawn and engraved by Edward Donovan for his Natural History of British Fishes, published by Donovan and Rivington in London between 1802 and 1808, are a testament to the artist's mastery of his craft. The Red Bandfish is a marine fish native to the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. It is characterized by its elongated body, which can reach up to 50 centimeters in length, and its distinctive red lateral stripe, which runs from the gills to the base of the tail. The fish's body is covered in small scales, and its coloration varies from silver to reddish-brown, with a more intense red hue along the lateral line. Red Bandfish are a popular target for recreational and commercial fisheries due to their delicious taste and firm texture. They are known to inhabit both coastal and offshore waters, and are often found in schools. The fish feed on a variety of prey, including plankton, small crustaceans, and other fish. This beautiful illustration not only captures the physical attributes of the Red Bandfish but also provides a glimpse into the scientific knowledge of the time. The Natural History of British Fishes was a groundbreaking work in the field of ichthyology and zoology, contributing significantly to the understanding of the marine life of the British Isles and beyond. Today, it remains an important historical record and a testament to the beauty and diversity of the world's oceans and rivers.
