EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, dated 1865, showcases the vibrant colors and intricate markings of the Mediterranean Rainbow Wrasse, also known as Coris julis. This small, patterned fish is a native of the Mediterranean and Black Seas, belonging to the Labridae family within the larger order of Perciformes. The Victorian-era photograph, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a rare glimpse into the natural world of over a century ago. The Coris julis, with its striking yellow and green body, is a true testament to the rich biodiversity of the Mediterranean region. Its distinctive markings, which include horizontal stripes and a distinctive black spot near its tail, add to its allure. The Common Bleak, Alburnus alburnus, is another name for this species, but it is important to note that the fish depicted in this photograph is not the same as the Common Bleak, which is a freshwater fish belonging to the Cyprinidae family. The misnomer likely arose due to the similarity in name, but the two species are distinct and inhabit different aquatic environments. The Coris julis is a popular subject among marine enthusiasts and aquarists due to its eye-catching appearance and relatively easy care requirements. This photograph, with its historical significance and stunning visual appeal, serves as a reminder of the natural wonders that have long captivated our imaginations and fueled our fascination with the natural world.
