EDITORS COMMENTS
LS Plate 182: A Striking Illustration of a Brown Spotted Dogfish from the John Reeves Collection This watercolor illustration, LS Plate 182, is a testament to the meticulous work of John Reeves, a 19th century Tea Inspector who traveled extensively to Canton, China, amassing an impressive collection of Chinese natural history drawings. The intricately detailed image showcases a Brown Spotted Dogfish, a common coastal fish found in the waters of the North Atlantic and North Sea. Reeves' dedication to documenting the natural world is evident in the vibrant colors and precise shading that bring this elongated fish to life. The fish's distinctive brown spots, arranged in irregular patterns along its body, are rendered with remarkable accuracy. Its long, slender tail fin is spread out, adding to the sense of motion and energy in the illustration. The presence of this Asian fish in the John Reeves Collection is a reminder of the interconnectedness of the global natural world during the 19th century. Reeves' travels to China not only expanded his knowledge of Chinese tea production but also provided him with opportunities to study and document the diverse array of flora and fauna found in the region. This stunning watercolor illustration of a Brown Spotted Dogfish is a valuable addition to the John Reeves Collection, offering a glimpse into the natural history of the past and the remarkable work of a dedicated observer.
