EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 124" of Marcus Elieser Bloch's "Naturgeschichte der ausländischen Fische" (Natural History of Foreign Fishes), published between 1785 and 1795, features an intricately detailed illustration of the Chimaera monstrosa, also known as the shortnose chimaera or rabbitfish. This remarkable image, captured in the 19th century, showcases the unique features of this chimaeriform fish, which belongs to the Chimaeridae family and the class Chondrichthyes, or cartilaginous fish. The Chimaera monstrosa is characterized by its elongated, eel-like body, large, wing-like pectoral fins, and a distinctive, flat, broad head with two prominent, upward-pointing, rod-like structures, or rostrums, resembling the ears of a rabbit. These structures are used to detect electrical signals from the water, allowing the fish to locate prey. Bloch's illustration accurately depicts these features, providing a valuable record of the Chimaera monstrosa's appearance during a time when exploration and documentation of the natural world were at the forefront of scientific discovery. The meticulous attention to detail in the artwork, with its lifelike colors and textures, highlights the artist's skill and the importance of natural history illustration in the advancement of scientific knowledge. As a member of the Chimaeriformes order, the Chimaera monstrosa is a chimaeroid fish, sharing characteristics with both sharks and rays. Its elongated snout and unique sensory structures set it apart from other fish species, making it a fascinating subject for study and observation. This image, produced during the 19th century by Marcus Elieser Bloch, continues to be an essential resource for marine biologists, natural historians, and anyone with an interest in the wonders of the natural world.
