Step back into the era of natural history with our beautifully restored reproduction print of the Diodon Atinga, formerly referred to as The Long Diodon. The work was originally created by 18th century physician and naturalist, Marcus Elieser Bloch, and showcases the fascinating spiky skin and spot-tipped fins of the porcupine fish. First appearing in his epic work Ichtyologie, ou Histoire naturelle, générale et particulière des poissons, this beautiful hand colored copper plate engraving portrays the intricate shading, spiky skin, and sharp eyes found in classic natural history prints. An excellent addition to any collection of ocean loving enthusiasts, vintage art lovers, and anyone with coastal decor in their homes or galleries.
