EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 26 of the Zoologie Atlas from the Voyage de la Coquille (1822-1825) by Louis-Isidore Duperrey showcases the captivating Scolopsis monogramma, also known as the rainbow monocle-bream. This stunning illustration, created in the nineteenth century, captures the vibrant colors and unique features of this intriguing bony fish. The rainbow monocle-bream is a member of the Perciformes order, specifically the Nemipteridae family. Its elongated, forked body is adorned with a striking orange and blue pattern, making it a visual standout among other fishes. The most distinctive feature of this species is the circular, monocle-like marking on its forehead, which gives it its common name. Duperrey's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the illustration, which highlights the fish's long, flowing fins and the intricate scales covering its body. The artist's use of color and shading adds depth and dimension to the image, making it a true work of art. As a significant contribution to the scientific community during the 19th century, the Voyage de la Coquille and its accompanying Zoologie Atlas were instrumental in documenting and cataloging various species of fish and other marine life. This illustration of the rainbow monocle-bream is a testament to the importance of such endeavors in expanding our knowledge and appreciation of the natural world.
