EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate stipple engraving from Jussieu's "Dictionary of Natural Sciences" captures the majestic King of herrings, Regalecus glesne, and the unique Deal fish, Trachipterus arcticus, in intricate detail. The elongated bodies and vibrant colors of these deep-sea creatures are brought to life by the skilled hands of illustrator J.G. Pretre and engraver Louvier.
The King of herrings, also known as the oarfish, is a rare and mysterious creature that can grow up to 11 meters in length. Its slender body and striking red fins make it a truly captivating sight in the depths of the ocean. In contrast, the Deal fish boasts a more unusual appearance with its ribbon-like shape and translucent skin.
This print serves as a reminder of the incredible diversity found within our oceans and highlights the importance of preserving these fragile ecosystems. It is a testament to both scientific curiosity and artistic skill, capturing these enigmatic creatures for future generations to admire.
Published in 1816-1830 by F.G. Levrault under the guidance of natural historian Hippolyte Cloquet, this engraving remains a timeless representation of two extraordinary marine species - symbols of wonder and beauty beneath the waves.
