Enter the world of 18th century natural history illustration, through this elegant portrayal of the Cyprinus Vimba (The Vimba Bream), first published by the celebrated German fish biologist Dr. Marcus Elieser Bloch for his classic work 'Oeconomische Naturgeschichte der Fische Deutschlands' (Berlin, circa 1782-1795).With its trademark dark dorsal fin, imbricated silvery grey skin and orange-colored pectoral and pelvic fins, this piece brings the best of science and art together. Ideal for adding a classic touch of sophistication to any academic setting, whether a library, study room or gallery display.
