EDITORS COMMENTS
John Reeves' LS Plate 191: A Nineteenth Century Glimpse into the Anatomy of a Hammerhead Shark from Canton, China John Reeves, a renowned tea inspector of the nineteenth century, embarked on an extraordinary journey to Canton, China, not only to expand his knowledge of tea production but also to develop an extensive collection of Chinese natural history drawings. Among his most captivating acquisitions is LS Plate 191, an intricately detailed illustration of a hammerhead shark, showcasing the anatomy of this fascinating predator from the depths of Asian waters. The hammerhead shark, a member of the Chondrichthyes class and the Elasmobranchii order, is easily recognizable by its unique head shape, which resembles a hammer or a shovel. This adaptation allows the shark to locate prey more effectively by expanding its sensory field, making it an efficient hunter in the murky waters of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. LS Plate 191, from the John Reeves Collection, captures the hammerhead shark's distinctive features in exquisite detail. The illustration highlights the shark's large, expressive eyes, which provide a glimpse into its mysterious and ancient lineage. The fin atop its head, or "cephalofoil," is clearly depicted, as are the rows of sharp, serrated teeth lining its powerful jaws. This illustration is a testament to John Reeves' dedication to documenting the natural world and his appreciation for the beauty and complexity of the hammerhead shark. LS Plate 191 offers a fascinating glimpse into the natural history of this remarkable predator, transporting us back to the nineteenth century and the wonders of the Asian waters.
