--- MacGillivray Fauna Illustrations by MacGillivray, William ---

Part of the largely unpublished collection of the work of William MacGillivray [1796-1852]. The collection was presented to The Natural History Museum by MacGillivray's son, Paul, in 1892.

It is likely that MacGillivray obtained his fish specimens from the fish market. It is probable that he would have looked for the best example of a particular type of fish and taken it home to paint it.

Pencil and watercolour. MacGillivray's drawing of the fish is both scientifically accurate and aesthetically pleasing. His use of colour and shadow reveals the texture of the Dory.

• Species: Zeus faber.
