LS Plate 161 from the John Reeves Collection: A Vibrant Depiction of a Pink-Finned Forked Fish from Canton, China This stunning illustration, LS Plate 161 from the John Reeves Collection, showcases the intricate details and rich colors of a pink-finned forked fish native to the waters of Canton, China during the 19th century. John Reeves, a renowned tea inspector, traveled extensively to China to amass a vast collection of Chinese natural history drawings. The fish in this illustration is depicted with a distinctive pink fin and a blunt, red nose, making it an easily identifiable species. Its forked tail and elongated body are also clearly visible, providing a detailed representation of its anatomy. The vibrant hues of red and pink contrast beautifully with the darker tones of the water and the surrounding vegetation, making for a visually captivating image. The biodiversity of Asian waters was a subject of great interest during the 19th century, and collections like that of John Reeves played a crucial role in documenting and preserving the natural history of the region. This illustration is a testament to the richness and complexity of the aquatic ecosystems of China and serves as an important reminder of the importance of preserving biodiversity for future generations. The intricate brushwork and attention to detail in this illustration are a testament to the skill and artistry of the Chinese artists who created it. The delicate lines and subtle shading bring the fish to life, making it a true work of art as well as a valuable scientific record. This illustration is not only a beautiful addition to any collection but also a reminder of the rich cultural and natural heritage of China during the 19th century.
