Plate 105 from the John Reeves Collection of Zoological Drawings from Canton, China (1774-1856): An Exquisite Illustration of Asian Biodiversity This stunning image, Plate 105 from the John Reeves Collection of Zoological Drawings from Canton, China, showcases the rich biodiversity of Asia during the nineteenth century. John Reeves (1774-1856), a British artist and naturalist, meticulously documented various animal species during his time in China. This collection, which includes over 1,200 drawings, is a testament to his dedication and the unique fauna he encountered. The illustration on Plate 105 features an intriguing assortment of Asian creatures. In the foreground, a vibrant, green and red amphibian, likely an Anura or Lissamphibian species, gazes intently at the viewer. The background is dominated by an impressive crab, most likely a Decapod or Malacostraca species, with its large pincers and intricate exoskeleton. The plate also includes several invertebrates, such as an arthropod and a crustacean, adding to the diverse array of life forms captured in this remarkable work. Reeves' attention to detail is evident in the fine lines and precise shading used to depict the textures and patterns of each creature. The background, with its lush vegetation and intricate foliage, further enhances the overall composition and adds a sense of depth and dimension to the illustration. This plate from the John Reeves Collection offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of Asian biodiversity during the nineteenth century. It serves as a reminder of the importance of documenting and preserving the natural world, and the role that dedicated individuals like John Reeves play in advancing our understanding of the intricacies of the natural world.
