John Edwards Holbrook's Illustrations of Fishes in the Bibliothèque Centrale, Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris (2012)
John Edwards Holbrook (1794--1871), zoologist and medical doctor, residing in Charleston, South Carolina, apparently sent eight colour plates of North American fishes to the museum in Paris because they were found in the Bibliothèque centrale, Muséum national d' Histoire naturelle, with known Holbrook material, most significantly a copy of his 1855 edition of the Ichthyology of South Carolina. Herein, I comment upon the illustrations of the 16 fishes rendered in those plates.
