EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored copperplate stipple engraving, titled "Zander, Sander Lucioperca, Jarbua Terapon," is an exquisite example of natural history illustration from the 19th century. The illustration was created by Jean Gabriel Pretre (1780-1845), a painter of natural history at Empress Josephine's zoo and later becoming the artist to the Museum of Natural History in Paris. The engraving was executed by Massard, under the direction of Turpin, and published by F.G. Levrault. The illustration features three distinct species of fish and one reptile. At the center, the Zander or European Pike-perch (Sander lucioperca) is depicted with its distinctive elongated body and sharp teeth. To the left, the Jarbua or Asiatic Sea Perch (Terapon jarbua) is shown with its vibrant colors and distinctive markings. The third fish species, Sander, is not clearly identified in the illustration, but it is believed to be a European Pike (Esox lucius) due to its similar appearance to the Zander. The reptile in the illustration is identified as Hippolyte Cloquet, but it is unclear if this is an error or if it refers to a different species. Hippolyte Cloquet was a naturalist and explorer, and it is possible that the error occurred due to his association with the natural history world during that time. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this handcolored copperplate stipple engraving provide a fascinating glimpse into the natural history illustration of the 19th century. The illustration is a testament to the skill and artistry of Jean Gabriel Pretre and the importance of natural history during this period.
