EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving, created by Miss Coignet after an original illustration by Jean-Gabriel Pretre, showcases two vibrant reef fish species: the Sergeant Major Fish (Abudefduf saxatilis) and the Pennant Coralfish (Heniochus acuminatus). The Sergeant Major Fish, also known as the Blue-stripe Sergeant or the Sargent Major, is a popular and widespread species in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. They are easily identified by their distinctive blue stripes and large, dark spots. The Pennant Coralfish, also known as the Pennant-tailed Wrasse or the Red-tailed Sergeant, is a beautiful and colorful species found in the Indo-Pacific region. They are characterized by their elongated pennant-like fins and vibrant colors, which can range from red to orange to yellow. The intricate detail and lifelike quality of this engraving, taken from Bernard Germain de Lacepede's Natural History of Oviparous Quadrupeds, Snakes, Fish and Cetaceans, published in Paris in 1825, is a testament to the skill and artistry of the time. The engraving provides a glimpse into the rich and diverse marine life of the past, and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and protecting these beautiful creatures in their natural habitats.
