1. Title: "Flying Wonders of the Deep: A Vibrant Menagerie of Flyingfish Varieties" 2.. Welcome to an enchanting underwater world where magic meets reality, as we delve into the captivating realm of flyingfish! This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving, taken from Friedrich Johann Bertuch's Bilderbuch fur Kinder (Picture Book for Children), published in Weimar in 1795, invites us to explore the mesmerizing world of these extraordinary aquatic creatures. 3. Flyingfish are a fascinating group of bony fish, characterized by their wing-like pectoral fins that enable them to glide through the air above the water surface. In this illustration, we encounter six diverse flyingfish species: a. Flying Gurnard (Dactylopterus volitans): With its elongated snout and large pectoral fins, this fish is a true marvel of nature. Its unique appearance sets it apart from other flyingfish, making it a standout in this enchanting collection. b. Bandwing Flyingfish (Cheilopogon exsiliens): Named for their striking, banded wings, these fish are a sight to behold as they gracefully leap from the water. c. Tropical Two-wing Flyingfish (Exocoetus volitans): The most commonly known flyingfish, these creatures are renowned for their ability to fly great distances above the water's surface. d. African Sailfin Flyingfish (Parexocoetus mento): With their large, sail-like dorsal fin and elongated pectoral fins, these fish are a true testament to the diversity and beauty of the flyingfish family. e. Flyinggurnard (Dactylopterus volitans 1): A closer look at the first Flying Gurnard in the illustration, revealing its intricate details and vibrant colors. f. Bandwing Flyingfish (Cheilopogon exsiliens 2): A closer look at the second Bandwing Flyingfish, showcasing its beautiful banded wings and distinctive features. Join us as we continue to explore the wonders of the deep through the pages of this picture book for children.
