EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Striking Contrast of Marine Life: Saddleback Clownfish and White Worm Lizard 2. Description: This hand-coloured steel engraving, created by du Casse after an illustration by Adolph Fries for Felix-Edouard Guerin-Meneville's Dictionnaire Pittoresque d'Histoire Naturelle (Picturesque Dictionary of Natural History), published in Paris between 1834 and 1839, showcases the intriguing juxtaposition of two distinct marine species: the vibrant Saddleback Clownfish (Amphiprion polymnus, individual 1) and the elusive White Worm Lizard (Amphisbaena alba, individual 3). The Saddleback Clownfish, also known as the Saddleback Anemonefish, is a small, colourful fish that can be found in the Pacific and Indian Oceans. They are characterized by their distinctive black and white stripes, which serve as a warning to predators that they are protected by the stinging cells of their host anemone. The clownfish in this engraving is accompanied by an unidentified Amphiprion species (individual 2), possibly Amphiprion laticlavius or Amphicome, adding to the intrigue of this fascinating underwater scene. The White Worm Lizard, on the other hand, is a rare and little-known species of limbless amphisbaenian reptile. Native to the Caribbean, these creatures are typically found in moist environments, such as forests and caves. They possess a unique appearance, with a long, slender body covered in tiny white scales and a series of rings around their body, resembling a segmented worm. The presence of this elusive creature in the same illustration as the colourful clownfish adds a sense of wonder and discovery to the composition. This exquisite hand-coloured steel engraving not only highlights the striking contrast between these two diverse marine species but also serves as a testament to the intricate detail and artistry of 19th-century natural history illustrations.
