"Game Fishes of the United States" is a notable work by Samuel Abbott Kilbourne (1836–1881), an American artist and ichthyologist known for his detailed illustrations of fish. The book, which was published posthumously in 1884, is a comprehensive guide to the game fish found in the waters of the United States and is celebrated for its combination of scientific accuracy and artistic excellence.

The Red Snapper, scientifically known as Lutjanus campechanus, is one of the species featured in Kilbourne's work. This fish is a popular and commercially important game fish native to the western Atlantic Ocean, including the Gulf of Mexico and the southeastern coast of the United States. In "Game Fishes of the United States," Kilbourne provides a detailed illustration and description of the Red Snapper, capturing its distinctive features such as its rose-red color, sloped profile, and large, spiny dorsal fin.

Kilbourne's illustration of the Red Snapper is significant not only for its aesthetic appeal but also for its contribution to the ichthyological knowledge of the time. His work has been used by anglers, scientists, and fish enthusiasts to identify and appreciate the diverse game fish species of the United States. The Red Snapper, in particular, is appreciated for its fighting spirit when hooked and its high-quality flesh, making it a coveted catch among recreational and commercial fishermen alike.

The inclusion of the Red Snapper in "Game Fishes of the United States" reflects Kilbourne's dedication to documenting the rich ichthyofauna of the country and providing a resource that remains valuable to those interested in the field of ichthyology and the art of fish illustration. Kilbourne's legacy continues through the enduring relevance of his work to both the scientific community and the general public.
