EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving captures the beauty and intricacy of the Seagrass® filefish, Monacanthus tomentosus, also known as the Hairy Monacanthe and Indian Triacanthe. The detailed illustration, originally featured in Jussieu's "Dictionary of Natural Sciences" from 1816-1830, showcases the unique characteristics of these fascinating marine creatures.
The artist, J.G. Pretre, skillfully brings out the vibrant colors and textures of the filefish, while Prudhon's precise engravings add depth and dimension to each intricate detail. Directed by Turpin and published by F.G. Levrault, this masterpiece is a testament to the artistry and scientific accuracy that defined natural history illustrations during this era.
Hippolyte Cloquet, a renowned natural historian and doctor of medicine, oversaw the volumes on fish and reptiles where this illustration was featured. His expertise ensured that each species was accurately represented in both form and color.
As we admire this stunning print today, we are transported back in time to an age when exploration and discovery were at their peak. The Seagrass® filefish depicted here serves as a reminder of the vast diversity found within our oceans – a world waiting to be explored and appreciated for its beauty and complexity.
