John Reeves' LS Plate 156: A Vibrant Illustration of a Brown-Finned, Forked-Nosed Asian Fish from Canton, China This stunning silver-toned print, LS Plate 156 from the John Reeves Collection, showcases a captivating Asian fish species with a unique blend of colors and features. John Reeves, a 19th century Tea Inspector, embarked on an extraordinary journey to Canton, China, where he amassed an impressive collection of Chinese natural history drawings. The fish depicted in this illustration boasts a brown body, adorned with blue spots and stripes, and a distinctive triangular fin. Its most striking features, however, are the blunt, forked nose and the pair of large, expressive eyes. The fish's finely detailed scales shimmer with a yellow hue, adding to the overall allure of this exquisite artwork. John Reeves' meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate rendering of the fish's gills, fins, and the delicate patterns on its body. The artist's skillful use of shading and contrast creates a three-dimensional effect, making it seem as if the fish is leaping out of the page. This illustration offers a glimpse into the rich biodiversity of Asian waters during the 19th century. It serves as a testament to John Reeves' dedication to documenting the natural world and his artistic prowess.
