Plate 133" from the esteemed John Reeves Collection is an exquisite 19th century illustration of a finfish native to Asian waters. John Reeves, a British tea inspector, traveled extensively to Canton, China, amassing an impressive collection of Chinese natural history drawings. This particular illustration showcases a vibrant, red-hued fish with distinctive scales and a long, flowing fin. The fish's body is elongated, with a pointed snout and large, expressive eyes. Reeves' meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate depiction of the fish's scales, which appear almost three-dimensional in their texture and shading. The artist has captured the fish's unique features with remarkable accuracy, providing a valuable record of this species for scientific and historical purposes. The illustration is rendered in a traditional Asian style, with bold lines and rich, saturated colors. The background is kept simple, allowing the fish to take center stage and showcase its striking appearance.

This illustration provides a fascinating glimpse into the natural history of Asia during the 19th century, and serves as a testament to John Reeves' dedication to documenting the diverse and intriguing world of Chinese fauna.
