“The osteology of fishes had scarcely been touched by the beginning of the nineteenth century” (Cuvier, 1828:237); thus, Plumier was well ahead of his time in depicting the skeleton of the Greater Weever, Trachinus draco Linnaeus, 1758. Plumier MS 25, folio 1; copyright Bibliothèque Centrale, Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle, Paris.
