EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of the Scorpaenopsis cocopsis fish, taken around 1914. Found in the waters of Nohu Omakaha, Hawaii, these unique creatures are part of the renowned collection at The Aquarium in Waikiki, Honolulu. Known as one of the rarest and most stunning fish in existence, they possess an otherworldly charm that defies description. The postcard captures their odd yet alluring shape, adorned with a vibrant array of colors reminiscent of a rainbow. Each hue seems delicately applied like brushstrokes on a canvas. Their exquisite shades and peculiar forms cannot be replicated by any painter or adequately conveyed through language alone. These lithographic prints from the Curt Teich Company serve as remarkable representations of natural science and animal illustration. They belong to a series dedicated to documenting various species found in Hawaii's rich marine life. Preserved within Lake County Museum's collection, these offset lithographs and transfer prints offer glimpses into the diverse world beneath our oceans. As we gaze upon this postcard featuring Scorpaenopsis cocopsis fish, we are reminded that nature's artistry often surpasses human imagination.
