EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolor print showcases the intricately detailed features of the One-Spotted Dory, Enoplosus armatus, a vibrant and exotic fish native to the waters of King Georges Sound in Western Australia. The illustration is one of sixty-seven original drawings of mammals, reptiles, and fish discovered in the region, created by the skilled hand of Robert Neill between 1839 and 1842. The One-Spotted Dory, also known as the Old Wife, Long-Spined Chaetodon, or Pungent Chaetodon, is a small, colorful member of the Perciformes order, specifically the Enoplosidae family. With its distinctive blue body adorned with a prominent white spot and long, spiny dorsal and anal fins, this fish is a captivating example of the diverse marine life found in the waters of Australasia. Neill's meticulous illustration highlights the fish's unique characteristics, from its elongated dorsal and anal fins to the intricate patterns on its scales. The accompanying manuscript notes by Neill provide valuable information about the fish's identification, habitat, and behavior, making this artwork not only an aesthetic delight but also an important contribution to the scientific record of the region's marine life. The One-Spotted Dory is a valuable addition to any collection of zoological illustrations, showcasing the beauty and diversity of the world's oceans and the remarkable talent of Robert Neill as an artist and naturalist.
