Experience the beauty of Enlightenment marine science in this beautiful hand-colored copperplate engraving taken from Marcus Elieser Bloch's important book. This historic print includes two different species; Fig. 1: Zeus Gallus (historically known as Der Marderfisch / Le Coq de Mer, also known as sea-cock, with its long filamentous fins on its back) and Fig. 2: Zeus Insidiator (Der lustige Spiegelpisch / Le Poiss). This fine art piece includes beautiful etchings and historical colors, creating an amazing connection between fine art and history of zoology.
