Transport your home into the world of natural history through the period of Enlightenment with the famous depiction of Blennius Viviparus (The Viviparous Blenny / Die Aalmutter) by Marcus Elieser Bloch. First printed in his groundbreaking 18th-century ichthyology book, Ichthyologie, this artwork features the eel-like sea fish painted in rich earthen colors, distinct bar design on its back, and bright orange-red anal fins. Uniquely depicted under the adult is the small fry of the fish species showing its unusual viviparous character.Accompanied with classical copperplate writing "Natürliche Gröſse", this rare engraving will add an antique touch to your coastal home decor, scientific library, or art gallery collection.
