EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite pencil sketch captures the elegant form of the Longfin Pompano, Trachinotus goreensis, as depicted by the renowned naturalist George Forster during Captain James Cook's groundbreaking second voyage to explore the southern continent between 1772 and 1775. Forster, a German naturalist and son of the expedition's official scientist Johann Christian Friedrich Höhne, meticulously documented the diverse fauna and flora encountered during the voyage. This illustration, created in 1774 or 1775, showcases the Longfin Pompano's distinctive features, including its long, curved pectoral fins and forked tail, which are characteristic of the Carangidae family to which it belongs. The Longfin Pompano is a bony fish, classified under the Perciformes order and the Actinopterygii class. This illustration, a testament to the spirit of adventure and discovery, is a valuable historical record of the natural world and a beautiful example of 18th-century natural history art. The sketch was produced during a pivotal period in the history of exploration, as Europeans sought to expand their knowledge of the globe and uncover new species and territories. This illustration, created by George Forster and published by Johann Georg Adam Forster, provides a fascinating glimpse into the natural history of the time and the remarkable achievements of Captain James Cook's second voyage.
