This image, dating back to 1863, showcases the Streaked Gurnard or Trigloporus lastoviza, a remarkable species of searobin. The fish, with its vibrant, striking appearance, is a testament to the rich biodiversity of marine life during the Victorian era. The Streaked Gurnard, also known as the Striped Gurnard or the Bright Red Gurnard, is a bottom-dwelling fish native to the Atlantic and Mediterranean seas. With its elongated body and distinctive, bright red coloration adorned with bold, white stripes, this gurnard is a sight to behold. Its unique appearance is not only visually appealing but also serves as an effective camouflage against predators lurking in the sandy seafloor.

The intricate details of the fish's scales, fins, and gill covers are beautifully captured, revealing the delicate complexity of its anatomy. The image also provides a window into the past, allowing us to appreciate the marine environment as it was over a century ago. The Streaked Gurnard continues to captivate marine enthusiasts and researchers alike, with its unique features and intriguing adaptations.
