This ceramic mug features a faithful reproduction of a naturalistic plate dedicated to the Salmo Thymallus. Taken from Marcus Elieser Bloch's famous Ichtyologie collection, the illustration shows remarkable finesse in the precision of the lines and the rendering of the gray, green, and yellowish chromatic nuances of the fish.
Produced between 1785 and 1797, this engraving bears witness to Bloch's vast scientific project aimed at cataloging aquatic fauna with encyclopedic rigor. The period polyglot inscription underlines the documentary and historical value of this major 18th-century ichthyological study.
Designed to accompany your hot drinks on a daily basis, this mug combines utility and scientific aesthetics. It is a refined and elegant object, perfect for lovers of antique illustration, marine biology, and nature.
