EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored copperplate engraving showcases the intriguing figure of the Horned Fish, scientifically known as Lactoria cornuta. The Horned Fish, also referred to as the Longhorn Cowfish or Pisciculus cornutus, is a unique marine species native to the Indian and Pacific Oceans. This fascinating creature is depicted in the image with its distinctive horns, which are actually modified spines, extending from its head. The Horned Fish is a member of the Labridae family, and it can be found in shallow waters near coral reefs. Its vibrant colors, ranging from orange to yellow and black, serve as excellent camouflage among the coral formations. The Horned Fish is an omnivorous species, feeding on various invertebrates and algae. This illustration is taken from The Naturalist's Pocket Magazine; or, Complete Cabinet of the Curiosities and Beauties of Nature, published by Harrison in London between 1798 and 1802. The publication was a popular source of natural history knowledge during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. This particular engraving is attributed to George Edwards, a renowned English naturalist and illustrator. The meticulous attention to detail in the illustration is evident, with the Horned Fish's scales, fins, and horns rendered in stunning detail. The use of handcoloring further enhances the image, adding depth and vibrancy to the already impressive engraving. This historical illustration provides a fascinating glimpse into the natural history of the Horned Fish and serves as a reminder of the beauty and diversity of the marine world. It is a testament to the skill and dedication of naturalists and illustrators of the past, who documented and preserved the wonders of nature for future generations to appreciate.
