Forever immortalized in the golden age of natural history illustration, this captivating image of Coryphaena Hippurus—the fish that was once called "The Dolfin" and now goes by the name of Mahi-Mahi or Dorado—is an exquisite example of late 18th century ichthyology. Painted by Marcus Elieser Bloch, who was a physician and naturalist of German descent (1723–1799), this particular plate features the bright golden fins, characteristic high profile head, and speckled skin of one of the fiercest fish in the ocean.Combining precise scientific classification with beautiful hand coloring, this historic print will be an exquisite addition to any art collector's print collection.
