EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning nineteenth century print showcases the anatomy of a Lutjanus gibbus, commonly known as the humpback red snapper. The vibrant orange and red hues of this bony fish are beautifully depicted, highlighting its distinctive features. With its large, expressive eye and prominent hump on its back, the humpback red snapper is a striking example of the diverse and intricate design of ray-finned fish (Actinopterygii). The humpback red snapper is a member of the Perciformes order, specifically the Lutjanidae family. This perciform fish is native to the western Atlantic Ocean and is highly prized for its delicious flavor and firm texture. This illustration is a testament to the natural history art of the 19th century, showcasing the meticulous attention to detail and scientific accuracy that was prevalent during this time. The artist, Louis Isidore Duperrey, was a renowned naturalist and explorer who made significant contributions to the field of marine biology. His work, including this print of the humpback red snapper, continues to be an invaluable resource for researchers and enthusiasts alike. The humpback red snapper is not only a fascinating creature to behold, but also plays an essential role in its ecosystem as a predator and prey species. Its anatomy, with its powerful fins and sharp teeth, is perfectly adapted for its role in the ocean food chain. This print serves as a reminder of the beauty and complexity of the natural world and the importance of preserving it for future generations.
