LS Plate 116 from the John Reeves Collection: A Vibrant Depiction of a Brown Barbel from Canton, China This stunning illustration, LS Plate 116 from the John Reeves Collection, showcases the intricate detail and vibrant coloration of a Brown Barbel (Barbus spp.) native to the waters of Asia. John Reeves, a 19th century Tea Inspector, traveled extensively to Canton, China, amassing an impressive collection of Chinese natural history drawings. Reeves' keen observation and artistic skill are evident in this exquisite depiction of the Brown Barbel. The fish is rendered in rich, earthy tones, with its distinctive, elongated snout and barbels extending from its lower jaw. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the rendering of the fish's scales, gills, and fins. The Brown Barbel is a member of the Cyprinidae family, order Cypriniformes, and class Actinopterygii. It is a bony fish, characterized by its ray-finned body and gills that provide oxygen through water filtration. This illustration is a testament to the diverse and rich aquatic life found in Asia during the 19th century. The John Reeves Collection, housed at the Natural History Museum in London, is a valuable resource for researchers and historians studying the natural history of Asia during the Victorian era. LS Plate 116 is just one of many illustrations in the collection that offer a glimpse into the natural world of the past, providing insights into the biodiversity of Asia and the meticulous observation skills of John Reeves.
