Diodon Atinga - The Long Diodon

by Marcus Elieser Bloch

Bloch's beautifully illustrated fishes were created in the late 18th century as part of his comprehensive work 'Allgemeine Naturgeschichte der Fische'. These drawings sparked a curiosity that would help establish the field of ichthyology - the study of fish. In this series, you can see all of Bloch's drawings digitally restored in vivid detail by our team of expert conservators.
