EDITORS COMMENTS
of "Naturgeschichte der ausländischen Fische: mit sechs und dreissig Ausgemalten Kupfern nach Originalen," published between 1785 and 1795, features an exquisite illustration of the Callionymus lyra, also known as the Gemmeous dragnet or common dragonet. This magnificent work is the creation of Marcus Elieser Bloch, a renowned German naturalist and illustrator of the 18th and 19th centuries. The Callionymus lyra is a small, colorful fish belonging to the Callionymidae family, which is part of the larger order Perciformes, or perch-like fish. This ray-finned fish is native to the waters of the Indian and Pacific Oceans. The Callionymus lyra is easily identified by its striking appearance, with a body adorned with iridescent scales that shimmer in various shades of blue, green, and gold. Its most distinctive feature is the long, filamentous fins that extend from its dorsal, anal, and caudal regions, resembling the strings of a lyre. Bloch's illustration captures the Callionymus lyra's beauty and intricacy in stunning detail. The fish is depicted swimming gracefully among the waves, with its fins fully extended, creating a mesmerizing effect. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the delicate scales, the subtle variations in color, and the intricate patterns on the fish's body. This illustration is a testament to the natural history of the Callionymus lyra and serves as a reminder of the rich biodiversity of the world's oceans during the 18th and 19th centuries. It is a valuable historical record of a fascinating species and a testament to the artistic skill and dedication of Marcus Elieser Bloch.
