EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored engraving, created by Corbie after an original illustration by Ac. Baron, showcases two intriguing deep-sea fish species: the Tub Gurnard (Chelidonichthys lucerna) and the Black Scorpionfish (Scorpaena porcus). The Tub Gurnard, also known as the Red-mouthed Gurnard or the Red-lipped Gurnard, is a bottom-dwelling fish with a unique body shape, characterized by its large head, small pectoral fins, and a distinct red marking around its mouth. The Black Scorpionfish, on the other hand, is a venomous fish with a distinctive appearance. Its body is covered with spines, which it uses for defense, and its coloration ranges from brown to black with white spots. Both species are native to the Atlantic and Mediterranean seas and are often found in rocky areas at depths of up to 300 meters. This beautiful illustration is taken from Charles d'Orbigny's Universal Dictionary of Natural History, published in Paris in 1849. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this engraving serve as a testament to the natural history artistry of the time.
