This ancient illustration reproduction presents a detailed study of the Eurasian Perch accompanied by other specimens such as the striped triplefin. Taken from the famous Dictionnaire Universel d'Histoire Naturelle, the plate emphasizes anatomical details, notably the fins and scales. The chromatic palette uses green and yellow tones to restore the natural appearance of the fish.
Produced under the direction of Charles d'Orbigny in the 19th century, this engraving is a remarkable example of documentary ichthyology. It illustrates the era's desire to classify and accurately describe aquatic species. The hierarchical composition allows a clear reading of the different body parts, making this plate as much a pedagogical tool as a graphic work.
Ideal for collectors of marine or lacustrine themes, this illustration brings a historical and scientific dimension. It can be observed for the finesse of its technical realization or integrated into a decorative ensemble valuing natural sciences and the art of ancient engraving.
