EDITORS COMMENTS
This image from the Victorian era, dated 1863, showcases two intriguing and colorful fish species, the Lanthorn Gurnard (Trigla lucerna) and the Little Gurnard (Trigla paeciloptera). The Lanthorn Gurnard, also known as the Shining Gurnard, Long-Finned Captain, or Red Gurnard, is depicted in the upper portion of the photograph. With its elongated dorsal fin and vibrant red, yellow, and blue hues, this fish is a true natural wonder. The Lanthorn Gurnard derives its name from the bioluminescent organs located beneath its eyes, which emit a faint glow, making it an intriguing sight in the deep waters of the Mediterranean and the North Atlantic. In contrast, the smaller Little Gurnard (Trigla paeciloptera) is displayed below. Its body is adorned with a striking pattern of red and blue stripes, with a yellow belly and a pair of small, black spots near its tail. This fish, native to the Atlantic and Mediterranean, is a popular food source and is often referred to as the Red-spotted Gurnard or the Red-striped Gurnard. This photograph, taken in the 1860s, offers a glimpse into the rich marine life of the past and highlights the unique beauty of these two fascinating fish species. The intricate details of their scales, fins, and patterns are beautifully captured, making this image a must-have for any nature or marine life enthusiast's collection.
