EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 18th century illustration, Drawing no. 54 by George Raper, depicts a vibrant Snapper fish from Norfolk Island. Dated between 1768 and 1797, this exquisite work of art showcases the intricate details of this bony fish, which is a member of the Perciformes order and the Lutjanidae family. The Snapper's body is a beautiful blend of blues, with a prominent, red lateral line that runs from its head to its tail. Its scales shimmer in the light, adding to its allure. The fish's large, protruding lips and sharp, pointed snout are also clearly visible. One of its most distinctive features is its dorsal fin, which is characterized by its elongated, ray-like structure. George Raper was a skilled naturalist and artist who created this illustration during the late 18th century. His meticulous attention to detail and accurate representation of the Snapper's anatomy make this work an invaluable contribution to the scientific record of the time. The Snapper is a highly prized fish, both for its culinary value and its aesthetic appeal. This illustration serves as a testament to the beauty and diversity of the underwater world that Raper and his contemporaries explored and documented. The Snapper is a ray-finned fish, belonging to the class Actinopterygii, and is often referred to as a perciform fish due to its compressed body shape and its placement within the Perciformes order. This illustration offers a unique glimpse into the natural history of this fascinating species, providing a window into the rich marine biodiversity of the past.
