EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored copperplate stipple engraving, taken from the esteemed 'Dictionnaire des Sciences Naturelles' published between 1816 and 1830, showcases two fascinating marine species and one freshwater reptile. The Damselfish, Chromis chromis, is depicted in its vibrant colors, displaying the distinctive stripes and spots that characterize this small yet beautiful fish. The Climbing Perch, Anabas testudineus, is shown in its amphibious form, with its powerful limbs extended, ready to grasp onto rocks or vegetation. This unique adaptation enables the perch to live both in water and on land. The illustration was created by the skilled hand of Jean Gabriel Pretre (1780-1845), a painter of natural history at Empress Josephine's zoo and later becoming the artist to the Museum of Natural History. The meticulous engraving was executed by Massard, under the direction of Turpin, and published by F. G. Levrault. The Damselfish and Climbing Perch are displayed together in this intricately detailed image, highlighting the rich diversity of aquatic life during the early 19th century. The use of the copperplate stipple engraving technique adds depth and texture to the illustration, capturing the essence of these captivating creatures.
