EDITORS COMMENTS
John Reeves' LS Plate 154: An Exquisite Nineteenth Century Illustration of a Silver Needlefish from Canton, China John Reeves, a renowned tea inspector of the British East India Company, embarked on an extraordinary journey to Canton, China, in the mid-19th century. His primary mission was to establish a tea monopoly for the East India Company, but his insatiable curiosity and passion for natural history led him to amass an impressive collection of Chinese drawings. This collection, now known as the John Reeves Collection, is a testament to the rich biodiversity of China and its influence on European scientific knowledge. LS Plate 154, part of this remarkable collection, depicts a striking silver needlefish (Belone belone). Measuring up to 1.5 meters in length, this elongated, slender fish is a member of the Belonidae family, order Beloniformes, and class Actinopterygii. The fish's most distinctive feature is its long, pointed snout, which is armed with sharp, needle-like teeth. The silver needlefish is a bony fish with a streamlined body and a laterally compressed shape, allowing it to move swiftly through the water. The illustration, executed in China, showcases the fish in its natural habitat, surrounded by vibrant red and orange tones, reflecting the rich colors of the Asian waters. The meticulous attention to detail and the artist's skillful use of color and shading bring the needlefish to life, offering a glimpse into the diverse marine ecosystems of China during the 19th century. This illustration not only serves as a beautiful work of art but also as an essential contribution to the scientific community, providing valuable insights into the natural history of the silver needlefish and the rich biodiversity of Asian waters.
