EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolor painting depicts the Epinephelus fasciatus, also known as the black-tipped rockcod or one-spot black grouper, captured during Captain James Cook's historic first voyage to explore the southern continent from 1768 to 1771. The illustration, titled "Fish. Epinephelus fasciatus" and numbered 561 in Volume 2, was created by the skilled hand of Sydney Parkinson. Cook's expedition, marked by groundbreaking discoveries and adventures, brought the first European contact with the eastern coast of Australia and New Zealand. The Epinephelus fasciatus is a large, powerful bony fish belonging to the Serranidae family, order Perciformes, class Actinopterygii, and phylum Osteichthyes. Known for its distinctive black tips on its dorsal, pectoral, and anal fins, this red-hued fish is a popular target for recreational and commercial fisheries. Its vibrant colors and impressive size have made it a subject of fascination for naturalists and explorers throughout history. Captain Cook's voyage opened up a new world of discovery, not only for lands and cultures but also for the diverse and intriguing marine life that inhabited the waters of the southern seas. This exquisite watercolor painting by Sydney Parkinson serves as a testament to the beauty and wonder of the natural world that was revealed during this pivotal period in human history.
