EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving, taken from Friedrich Johann Bertuch's Bilderbuch fur Kinder (Picture Book for Children), published in Weimar in 1795, showcases an enchanting collection of exotic fish species. The image features six distinct species, each with its unique characteristics, making it an intriguing illustration for young learners. First, the African Pompano or Barracouta (Alectis ciliaris, 1 & 2) is a vibrant, slender fish with a silver body and blue-green back. Next to it, the Sand Tilefish (Malacanthus plumieri, 3) can be seen, characterized by its large size and unique, flat head. The Estuarine Stonefish (Synanceia horrida, 4) is a venomous fish with mottled brown and white coloration, often hiding on the ocean floor. The Red Lionfish (Pterois volitans, 5) is a striking creature, with its venomous spines and bold, red and white stripes. Among these fascinating fish, the African Pompano and Sand Tilefish are common in the Atlantic Ocean, while the other species are found in various parts of the Indian and Pacific Oceans. This engraving not only serves as an educational tool but also as a visual delight for children and adults alike, showcasing the rich diversity of marine life.
