EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolor illustration showcases a native Perch fish, expertly rendered by the skilled hand of Robert Neill. One of 67 original drawings, this artwork was produced between 1839 and 1842 and depicts the Perca species found in King Georges Sound, Western Australia, and its surrounding waters. Neill's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate scales and fin structures of the Perch, which is a member of the Acanthuridae family, part of the large group of bony fish known as Actinopterygii. The Perch is further classified as a ray-finned fish, belonging to the order Perciformes and the family Percidae. The illustration is accompanied by manuscript notes penned by Neill himself, adding to its historical significance. Neill was an accomplished artist and naturalist, and his work was instrumental in documenting the diverse marine life of the region during the early 19th century. This illustration offers a unique glimpse into the natural world of Indigenous Australians, who were intimately connected to the land and sea. The Perch was likely a significant food source for the Aboriginal and Aboriginal communities living in the area, making this artwork a valuable record of both the natural and cultural history of Western Australia. The Perch's vibrant colors and striking anatomy are beautifully captured in this watercolor, making it a must-have for any collection of zoological art and illustration. This artwork is a testament to Neill's artistic talent and his dedication to documenting the natural world around him.
