EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 184" of Marcus Elieser Bloch's "Naturgeschichte der ausländischen Fische" (Natural History of Foreign Fishes), published between 1785 and 1795, features an exquisite illustration of the Red Lionfish, Scorpaena volitans (also known as Pterois volitans). This magnificent actinopterygian, or ray-finned fish, is a member of the Scorpaenidae family, order Scorpaeniformes, and is native to the Indo-Pacific region. The Red Lionfish is renowned for its striking appearance, with its vibrant red, white, and black coloration, and its distinctive venomous spines. The illustration captures the fish's intricate patterns and textures, from the delicate scales covering its body to the sharp, raised spines along its dorsal, anal, and pectoral fins. Bloch's meticulous attention to detail is evident in this beautiful plate, which was produced during the 19th century. The illustration is a testament to the natural history artist's skill and the scientific community's dedication to documenting the natural world during this period. The Red Lionfish is a highly venomous species, and its spines can cause painful stings when provoked. Despite its intimidating appearance, it is also a popular aquarium fish due to its unique beauty and relatively peaceful demeanor. This historical illustration provides a fascinating glimpse into the natural history of the Red Lionfish and the scientific discoveries of the 18th and 19th centuries. It serves as a reminder of the importance of documenting and preserving the natural world for future generations to appreciate and learn from. Marcus Elieser Bloch was a German naturalist and zoologist who made significant contributions to the fields of ichthyology and herpetology. His "Naturgeschichte der ausländischen Fische" is considered a seminal work in the history of ichthyology and remains an important reference for researchers and enthusiasts today.
