EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning collection of aquatic wonders, beautifully captured by 19th-century artist H. Patterson. Titled "1. Clinus Polyactocephalus, 2. Gunellus Dolichogaster, 3. Belone Gigantea, 4 (1272261 1. Clinus Polyactocephalus, 2. Gunellus Dolichogaster, 3. Belone Gigantea, 4. Scomberesox" this color lithograph measures an impressive size of 21x17 cm and is housed in the esteemed Free Library of Philadelphia. The image transports us to the U. S. -Japan Expedition where these remarkable creatures were discovered and documented for scientific study in the mid-1800s. The hand-colored illustration highlights four distinct species: Clinus Polyactocephalus, Gunellus Dolichogaster, Belone Gigantea (also known as houndfish), and Scomberesox (commonly referred to as needlefish). Reduced to one-sixth their natural size for detailed examination purposes. Each fish is meticulously depicted with intricate details that bring them to life on paper - from their unique scales and fins to their mesmerizing patterns and colors. This artwork not only serves as a visual feast for art enthusiasts but also provides valuable insights into the diverse world of marine life that exists beneath our oceans' surfaces. Preserved within the Jackson Collection of American Lithographs at the Free Library
