EDITORS COMMENTS
from Ferdinand Bauer's "Zoological Drawings" is a stunning and intricately detailed illustration of a long, red and yellow fish, showcasing the artist's exceptional skill in capturing the natural world with precision and beauty. This exquisite plate is part of a folio of 24 hand-coloured engravings, accompanied by an original watercolor of Claire de Pratz, a dear friend of the artist and author of "Dans les Lignes Anglaises," who penned the foreword to the publication. Ferdinand Bauer (1760-1826), a renowned Austrian artist, created these masterpieces between 1801 and 1817, during his tenure as the official natural history illustrator for Sir Joseph Banks' expedition to the Cape of Good Hope. Each drawing was painstakingly produced using a combination of watercolor and graphite, resulting in a vivid and lifelike representation of the various species encountered during the voyage. Number 74 of 300, this plate is a testament to Bauer's unparalleled talent and dedication to documenting the natural world. The fish, with its elongated body and vibrant colors, is depicted in a serene and captivating manner, inviting the viewer to appreciate the beauty and diversity of aquatic life. The inclusion of Claire de Pratz in the publication adds an intriguing historical context, as she was not only a close companion to Bauer but also a prolific writer and adventurer in her own right. This extraordinary piece of art and historical significance is a must-have for any collection focusing on zoological illustrations, 18th-century drawings, or the works of Ferdinand Bauer. With its rich details and captivating subject matter, Plate 36 is a true treasure for scholars, art enthusiasts, and anyone with a passion for the natural world.
