EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Ribbonfish, 1833-39" transports us back to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into the wonders of nature. Created by an anonymous French artist from that era, this print is part of a private collection and showcases the incredible diversity found in our oceans. The artwork originates from "A Dictionnaire pittoresque d'histoire naturelle et des phénomènes de la nature" a publication by Felix Edouard Guerin-Meneville between 1833 and 1839. The detailed illustration captures the essence of these magnificent creatures with precision and artistry. The Ribbonfish takes center stage in this composition, its long slender body gracefully curving through the water. Its vibrant colors come alive on paper, showcasing shades of blues and greens that reflect its oceanic habitat. This species belongs to the Trachypterus spinolae family but also shares similarities with Gymnorhinus cyanocephalus and Gymnostoma ssp. Accompanying the Ribbonfish are other fascinating marine life forms depicted in intricate detail: birds soaring above, fishes swimming alongside, creating an immersive underwater tableau. The engraving technique employed adds depth to each stroke, enhancing their lifelike qualities. This print serves as a testament to both scientific curiosity and artistic skill during this period. It reminds us of humanity's enduring fascination with exploring and understanding our natural world—a timeless connection that continues to inspire awe today.
