Enliven your environment with an enlightened scientific wonder from the past, through this reproduction of Pleuronectes Bilineatus by Marcus Elieser Bloch. First issued between 1785-1795 in Bloch’s famous ichthyological publication titled Naturgeschichte der ausländischen Fische / Ichtyologie, this print depicts the Double-Lined Tongue Sole (Pleuronectes Bilineatus; Paraplagusia bilineata) as we now know it. With its distinctive shape, fine scaled surface, joined fringing of the fins, and asymmetrical positioning of the eyes, the image showcases the unique nature of this flatfish. Framed with a white background with historic multilingual scientific inscription in the top left corner, this artwork adds historical flair to modern coastal settings, traditional studies, or any eclectic gallery wall.
