EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate engraving captures the beauty and fragility of three endangered species: the Nassau grouper, redtail parrotfish, and Rhone apron. Each fish is meticulously detailed, showcasing their unique colors and patterns that make them a vital part of our underwater ecosystems. The Nassau grouper (Epinephelus striatus) with its striking markings and powerful presence, serves as a reminder of the importance of protecting these magnificent creatures from extinction. The redtail parrotfish (Sparisoma chrysopterum) adds a pop of color to the composition with its vibrant hues and intricate scales, highlighting the diversity found within our oceans. Lastly, the critically endangered Rhone apron (Zingel asper) stands out against the backdrop, drawing attention to its precarious status in nature. This engraving serves as both a work of art and an educational tool, shedding light on these lesser-known species that are facing threats to their survival. Created in 1825 by Plee Jr. after an illustration by Jean-Gabriel Pretre from Bernard Germain de Lacepede's Natural History collection, this print is a timeless representation of marine life that continues to inspire awe and admiration for these incredible creatures. Let us cherish and protect our ocean's inhabitants for future generations to enjoy.
