EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving, created by Plee Jr. after an original illustration by Jean-Gabriel Pretre, showcases three fascinating marine species: the Lesser Spiny Eel (Macrognathus aculeatus), Swordfish (Xiphias gladius), and Wolf-Fish (Anarhichas lupus). The engraving, taken from Bernard Germain de Lacepede's Natural History of Oviparous Quadrupeds, Snakes, Fish and Cetaceans, published in Paris in 1825, offers a detailed and accurate representation of these underwater creatures. The Lesser Spiny Eel, also known as the Longtom or Shortspine Eel, is a slender, elongated fish with a unique, elongated dorsal fin. Its body is covered in small, overlapping scales, and it possesses a sharp spine at the base of its dorsal fin. This eel is a common inhabitant of tropical and subtropical waters around the world. The Swordfish, depicted in mid-leap, is a large, powerful fish characterized by its long, flat, and sharp bill, which it uses to stun its prey before swallowing it whole. Swordfish are found in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and are known for their speed and agility. The Wolf-Fish, with its distinctive, wolf-like head and large, sharp teeth, is a formidable predator in the deep waters of the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans. Its body is covered in small, rough scales, and it has a long, slender dorsal fin. This fish is a valuable food source for humans and is also a popular game fish. This beautiful and intricate engraving not only showcases the natural history of these fascinating marine species but also highlights the skill and artistry of the engraver and illustrator. It is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and protecting our oceans and their inhabitants.
