Monkfish, Lophius americanus: A Glimpse into the Natural History of the Atlantic Ocean's Ugly Delicacy This exquisitely handcolored copperplate stipple engraving, created by Jean Gabriel Pretre and published by F.G. Levrault in the esteemed "Dictionnaire des Sciences Naturelles" between 1816 and 1830, offers a captivating glimpse into the natural history of the monkfish, Lophius americanus. The monkfish, also known as the anglerfish of the Atlantic, is a unique and intriguing deep-sea dwelling creature. The illustration, produced by Pretre, a painter of natural history at Empress Josephine's zoo and later becoming the artist to the Museum of Natural History, and engraved by Massard under Turpin's direction, showcases the monkfish's distinctive features. The monkfish's head, with its large, bulbous eyes and protruding, baited barbel, is particularly noteworthy. This adaptation allows the monkfish to lure unsuspecting prey in the dark depths of the ocean. The monkfish's body is long and eel-like, with a rough, textured skin and sharp, triangular pectoral and dorsal fins. The monkfish's diet consists mainly of crustaceans, mollusks, and other fish. This image serves as a testament to the intricate detail and dedication to accuracy that was a hallmark of natural history illustrations during this period. The monkfish, despite its unusual appearance, is highly valued as a delicacy in various culinary traditions, particularly in Europe and Japan. Its unique taste and texture have earned it a place on the menus of high-end restaurants. This engraving not only captures the monkfish's natural beauty but also highlights its significance as a valuable and intriguing component of the Atlantic Ocean's diverse marine ecosystem.
