EDITORS COMMENTS
This postcard print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of the Tretraodon hispidus fish, also known as Oopuhue Maki-Maki Keke. Dating back to 1916, this illustration is part of the "Fishes of Hawaii" collection found at The Aquarium in Waikiki, Honolulu. Renowned for housing some of the rarest and most stunning fish in the world, this aquarium offers a glimpse into nature's artistic mastery. The Tretraodon hispidus fish stands out with its peculiar shape and an array of colors that resemble a vibrant rainbow. Each hue seems delicately applied like brush strokes on a canvas, making it impossible for any painter to imitate them accurately. Even language falls short when attempting to describe these exquisite colors and bizarre shapes. This postcard print serves as a testament to the wonders found beneath Hawaiian waters. It transports us into an underwater realm where nature's creativity knows no bounds. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded that there are still mysteries waiting to be discovered within our oceans. With its scientific significance and exotic allure, this lithographic print captures not only the curiosity but also the admiration for these unique creatures. Preserved by Universal Images Group (UIG), it continues to inspire awe and appreciation for natural science enthusiasts worldwide while residing safely within Lake County Museum's collection.
