EDITORS COMMENTS
of Marcus Elieser Bloch's "Naturgeschichte der ausländischen Fische: mit sechs und dreissig Ausgemalten Kupfern nach Originalen" (Natural History of Foreign Fishes: With Sixty-Three Plates in Copper after Originals), published between 1785 and 1795, features an exquisite illustration of the Butterflyfish, Blennius ocellaris. Bloch's meticulously detailed work showcases this vibrant and intricately patterned marine species, a member of the Blenniidae family, which is also known as the Combtooth Blenny or the Lineate Butterflyfish. The Butterflyfish, with its distinctive coloration and unique appearance, is a popular resident of tropical reefs around the world. The fish's body is adorned with a series of striking, horizontal lines and a series of large, circular spots, resembling the wings of a butterfly. These markings serve as excellent camouflage, allowing the fish to blend in with the coral and algae of its environment. Bloch's illustration captures the Butterflyfish's elongated body shape, large eyes, and the prominent, comb-like teeth that give the Combtooth Blenny its name. The fish is depicted in a graceful swimming position, revealing its elegant, undulating fins. The Butterflyfish plays an essential role in its ecosystem as a herbivore, feeding primarily on algae and small invertebrates. Its diet helps maintain the balance of the coral reef community by controlling algae growth and preventing the overgrowth of unwanted species. Bloch's "Naturgeschichte der ausländischen Fische" was a groundbreaking work in the field of ichthyology, providing an accurate and detailed record of various fish species from around the world. The work remains an essential reference for marine biologists, historians, and enthusiasts alike, showcasing the beauty and diversity of the underwater world. This particular plate, featuring the Butterflyfish, is a testament to Bloch's exceptional artistic skill and dedication to documenting the natural world.
