EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored etching, taken from The Natural History of Carolina, Florida and the Bahama Islands (1731) Vol. 2 by Mark Catesby, showcases two remarkable marine species native to the Caribbean Sea: the Epinephelus guttatus, commonly known as the red hind, and the Euthynnus pelamis, or the skipjack. The red hind, depicted on the left side of the print, is a large, powerful fish belonging to the family Serranidae, order Perciformes, and the class Actinopterygii. It is identified by its distinctive red color, large dorsal fin with a fan-like shape, and forked caudal fin. The red hind is a popular game fish, known for its aggressive behavior and excellent fighting abilities. It is also an important food source for many Caribbean communities. On the right side of the print, the Euthynnus pelamis, or skipjack, is depicted. This fish is a member of the Carangidae family, also known as jackfish or trevally. It is identified by its long, slender body, large dorsal fin, and distinctive stripes. The skipjack is a fast-swimming, migratory fish that is found in tropical and subtropical waters around the world. It is an essential food source for many marine predators and is also a popular game fish. This beautiful etching, produced during the 18th century, is a testament to the natural history of the Caribbean and the remarkable work of Mark Catesby, a pioneering naturalist and artist. The intricate details of the fish's anatomy and the vibrant colors used in the hand-coloring make this print a true masterpiece. The red hind and skipjack continue to be important species in the Caribbean marine ecosystem, and this etching serves as a reminder of their beauty and significance.
