Plate 28 from Zoological Drawings by Ferdinand Bauer: An Exquisite Illustration of Brachaluteres jacksonianus, the Southern Pygmy Leatherjacket This stunning 18th century illustration, Plate 28 from Ferdinand Bauer's Zoological Drawings, showcases the intricate details of Brachaluteres jacksonianus, the Southern Pygmy Leatherjacket. Native to the waters of Australasia, this small, compressed fish is a captivating example of the diverse marine life found in the region. The Southern Pygmy Leatherjacket is easily recognizable by its lack of pelvic fins and prominent dorsal spine. Its body is elongated and green in color, with a large, expressive eye that adds to its allure. The fish's belly is relatively flat, allowing it to blend seamlessly into the sandy ocean floor. Bauer's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the illustration, revealing the fish's bony structure and the intricate patterns on its skin. The Southern Pygmy Leatherjacket is a member of the Monacanthidae family, which also includes filefish and monacanthids. It is sometimes classified as an Oligoplites or an Oligoplites saurus, and is also known as a Leather Jack or a Brachaluteres. Ferdinand Bauer was a renowned Austrian natural history painter and illustrator, who worked for Joseph Banks and Sir Joseph Banks' Natural History Museum in London. His illustrations were produced during the late 18th and early 19th centuries and are considered some of the most accurate and beautiful representations of the natural world from that time. This illustration not only provides a window into the natural history of the Southern Pygmy Leatherjacket, but also showcases the artistry and skill of Ferdinand Bauer, making it a valuable addition to any collection of natural history or marine life art.
