EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 18th century illustration, titled Drawing 7 (Ewan 34), depicts the Bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus), a freshwater sunfish native to North America. Created by the renowned naturalist and explorer, William Bartram, this drawing is a testament to the intricate detail and accuracy of natural history illustrations during this era. The Bluegill is easily recognizable with its vibrant blue-green coloration on its back and sides, contrasting with its white belly. The fish's striped pattern, particularly noticeable on its gills and fins, adds to its distinctive appearance. The Bluegill is a bony fish, belonging to the Actinopterygii (ray-finned fish) and Perciformes (perch-like) orders, and is a member of the Centrarchidae family, which includes other popular freshwater sunfish such as the Largemouth Bass and Redear Sunfish. Bartram's illustration highlights the Bluegill's spiky dorsal and anal fins, which are used for defense and maneuverability. The fish's back fin is particularly large, adding to its impressive appearance. This drawing not only showcases the beauty and intricacy of the Bluegill but also provides valuable documentation of this important species during the 18th century. William Bartram, an accomplished naturalist and artist, traveled extensively throughout the American colonies, documenting the natural world around him. His detailed illustrations, like this one of the Bluegill, continue to inspire and educate us about the natural history of North America. This illustration is a reminder of the importance of preserving and studying our natural world, and serves as a beautiful and intriguing piece of historical art.
