THE STRIPED BASS SCIAENA LINEATA

£220

Superb plate from " Ichthyologie, Histoire Naturelle General et Particuliere des Poissons", by Marcus Elieser Bloch (1723-99). The work describes and illustrates the fishes of the world in a superb hand colouring, sometimes heightened Gum Arabic to accentuate the metallic sheen of the fish scales. It is the most beautifull book on fishes ever published. The drawings were primarily done by Johan Friedrich August Krueger and Johan Friedrich Henning.Mint condition. Nisan,415
