This reproduction presents an ichthyological study grouping three species: the Grey mullet (Mugil cephalus), the Black goby (Gobius niger) and the Peacock blenny (Blennius pavo). Each fish is depicted with a particular attention paid to the fins, scales and the shades of grey and yellow that characterize their coloration.
The artwork is part of the collection of the Dictionnaire Universel d'Histoire Naturelle edited by Charles d'Orbigny. This plate illustrates the excellence of French scientific engraving from the mid-19th century, where the rigor of zoological classification meets an artistic mastery allowing to restore the volume and organic aspect of aquatic subjects.
Perfectly suited for marine or naturalist-themed decoration, this antique illustration constitutes a timeless study piece. It invites to explore the diversity of aquatic fauna through a historical perspective, valuing academic knowledge and the aesthetics of classical encyclopedic plates.
