Plate 130 from the John Reeves Collection: A Stunning 19th Century Illustration of a Brown Barbel from Canton, China This illustration, Plate 130 from the John Reeves Collection, showcases the intricate details of a Brown Barbel (Barbus spp.), a species of cyprinid fish native to Asia. John Reeves, a renowned 19th Century Tea Inspector, traveled extensively to Canton, China, where he amassed an impressive collection of Chinese natural history drawings. Reeves' meticulous observations and dedication to documenting the natural world are evident in this stunning illustration. The Brown Barbel, with its distinctive long, adipose fin and barbel-like sensory organs, is depicted in exquisite detail. The artist's skillful use of shading and color brings the fish to life, highlighting its vibrant orange coloration and the intricate patterns on its body. The Brown Barbel is a member of the Actinopterygii, or ray-finned fish, and the Osteichthyes, or bony fish, classes. It belongs to the Cyprinidae family, which includes the carps, minnows, and related species, and the Cypriniformes order. This illustration is a testament to the rich biodiversity of Asian waters and the importance of documenting it for future generations. The John Reeves Collection is a valuable resource for researchers, historians, and anyone interested in the natural history of China during the 19th Century. This illustration, in particular, provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of Asian fishes and the remarkable work of a dedicated naturalist like John Reeves.
