Striped Long-Snouted Fish — Plate XXVI

An extraordinary marine specimen occupies the centre of this historic Plate XXVI, distinguished by its elongated snout, prominent circular eye and broad striped body. Presented almost entirely in monochrome, the unusual silhouette gives the scientific photograph a remarkably graphic presence.

Dark transverse markings contrast with the pale body, while delicate fin rays and subtle surface textures preserve the observational quality of the original zoological study. Warm cream paper, restrained typography and the photographic credit to A. Hamilton complete the archival museum character of the plate.
