EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored engraving, titled "Pandora fish, Pagellus erythrinus (Sparus erythrinus), and Picarel, Spicara smaris (Sparus smaris)," is a stunning example of 19th-century ichthyological illustration. The image was created by the skilled hands of Teillard, based on an original illustration by Oudart, as part of Charles d'Orbigny's Universal Dictionary of Natural History, published in Paris in 1849. The illustration showcases two distinct fish species: the Pandora fish, also known as the red porgy or sea bream (Pagellus erythrinus), and the Picarel, also referred to as the red mullet or rouget (Spicara smaris). Both fish are native to the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. The Pandora fish is depicted with a vibrant red body, adorned with white spots, and a distinctive black spot on its gills. Its elongated dorsal fin runs along the upper part of its body, while its pectoral fins are located near the gills. The Picarel, on the other hand, is illustrated with a reddish-brown body, white spots, and a black lateral line. Its dorsal fin is shorter and more rounded than that of the Pandora fish, and its pectoral fins are smaller and positioned closer to the head. The intricate detail and lifelike accuracy of this engraving are a testament to the dedication and expertise of the artists involved. The use of hand-coloring further enhances the visual appeal of the image, adding depth and vibrancy to the fish species. This illustration offers a glimpse into the rich natural history of the Mediterranean Sea during the 19th century.
