EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the stunning intersection of two distinct natural worlds: the agile and elegant dragonflies from the Libellulinae Europaeae family, as beautifully captured by Toussaint de Charpentier in his 1840 work, and the diverse array of fish depicted in the Voyage de la Coquille, Zoology Atlas II by Duperrey. The dragonflies, with their iridescent wings and slender bodies, are quintessential representatives of the insect order Odonata, specifically the suborder Anisoptera. They are part of the hexapod class, which also includes arthropods such as crustaceans and spiders. The fish, on the other hand, belong to the Eutheria subclass of the Mammalia class, which includes placental mammals. The image showcases a rich variety of fish species, their scales and fins glistening in the water. Among the dragonflies, one can identify the Alice gibbon, a primate that is not depicted in the print but is mentioned for context. The Alice gibbon, also known as the white-handed gibbon, is a hylobatid primate native to Southeast Asia. It is a eutherian mammal, belonging to the order Primates, and the suborder Haplorhini. The intricate details and lifelike quality of both the dragonflies and fish in this print serve as a testament to the artists' skill and the beauty of the natural world. The dragonflies, with their prehistoric appearance and agile flight, add an air of mystery and allure, while the fish, with their vibrant colors and intricate patterns, showcase the rich diversity of aquatic life. Together, they remind us of the interconnectedness of all living beings and the importance of preserving the delicate balance of ecosystems.
