介绍（中）	这张纸与其他五幅花卉、树叶和钥匙的上镜画一起装在亨利·布莱特（1784-1869）收集的印刷品、绘画和照片集的一页上，亨利·布莱特是布里斯托尔一个显赫家族的商人，曾任英国国会议员。它记录了原产于北大西洋的Scyliorhinidae鲨鱼科的一个卵壳的形态。由于海洋标本不像压过的叶子或花朵那样平放在光敏纸上，光线穿过其长卷须的部分及其周围，给人一种蛋壳仍漂浮在海床植被中的错觉关于这幅上镜的画作的日期和归属，以及亨利·布莱特专辑中最初一起装帧在一页上的其他画作，人们进行了大量讨论，这些画作于1984年6月29日在伦敦苏富比单独拍卖。2008年4月7日，其中一幅上镜的画作出现在纽约苏富比奎兰收藏馆的照片拍卖目录中，但在拍卖前被撤回；目录中暗示奎兰收藏的上镜画作可能是托马斯·韦奇伍德的作品，可以追溯到19世纪初，这在学术界引发了一场有争议的争论，并促使了进一步的研究。
介绍（英）	This sheet was mounted with five other photogenic drawings of flowers, leaves, and keys on one page of an album of prints, drawings, and photographs assembled by Henry Bright (1784–1869), a merchant from a prominent Bristol family and former member of the British Parliament. It records the form of an egg case from the Scyliorhinidae family of sharks, native to the North Atlantic. Because the marine specimen did not lie flat against the photosensitized paper as a pressed leaf or flower would, the light passed over and around portions of its long tendrils, giving the illusion of the egg case still floating amid the vegetation of the sea bed. There has been much discussion regarding the date and attribution of this photogenic drawing and the others that were originally mounted together on a single page in Henry Bright's album and that were separated and auctioned individually at Sotheby's London on June 29, 1984. One of these photogenic drawings was presented in the catalogue for a sale of photographs from the Quillan Collection at Sotheby's New York, April 7, 2008, but was withdrawn before the sale; the catalogue's suggestion that the Quillan Collection photogenic drawing might be the work of Thomas Wedgewood and date from the beginning of the 19th century sparked a contentious debate in the scholarly community and has prompted further research.
