This reproduction of an antique ichthyological engraving presents two fish species: the Climbing Perch and the Striped Snakehead. The plate highlights the anatomical peculiarities of these specimens, with attention paid to the labyrinth organ, illustrating the precision of 19th-century naturalist lines.
The subject is taken from the Dictionnaire Universel d'Histoire Naturelle directed by Charles d'Orbigny. This work, an important milestone in the history of science, aimed to compile all the biological knowledge of the era through rigorous iconography produced by expert engravers.
This antique illustration is ideal for forming a cabinet of curiosities or for collectors of naturalist studies. It recalls the historical interest given to aquatic species and how they were documented during the great scientific expeditions of the past century.
