EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Triumph of the Deep: Humpback Turretfish, Smooth Trunkfish, and their Kin 2. In this exquisitely hand-colored copperplate engraving, we delve into the enchanting depths of the ocean, where three remarkable fish species - the Humpback Turretfish (Tetrosomus gibbosus), Smooth Trunkfish (Lactophrys triqueter), and their kin - gracefully inhabit. 3. The Humpback Turretfish, with its distinctive humpback and elongated snout, is depicted in the foreground. Its vibrant, mottled colors of orange, yellow, and black serve as a perfect camouflage against the coral reefs of the Atlantic Ocean. 4. To the right, the Smooth Trunkfish, characterized by its smooth, triangular body and protruding snout, swims gracefully. Its striking, diamond-shaped patterns and iridescent scales add to its allure, making it a fascinating addition to any Wunderkammer or Cabinet of Curiosities. 5. In the background, a myriad of other intriguing marine creatures can be observed, including the Ostracion Cornutus (with its thorny body), the Squammi Hexagonis (sporting a hexagonal body), and the Triangularis (boasting a triangular shape). 6. This illustration, taken from Georg Wolfgang Knorr's Deliciae Naturae Selectae (Selected Rarities of Nature), was meticulously created by the skilled hand of Johann Christoph Keller. The detailed engraving showcases the beauty and diversity of the natural world, as it was understood during the 18th century. 7. The intriguing creatures in this engraving serve as a testament to the enduring fascination humans have with the mysteries of the deep sea and the natural world. This stunning work of art invites us to explore the wonders of the ocean and appreciate the intricate designs and adaptations that have evolved over millions of years.
