This beautifully precise engraving of Stromateus Paru by Marcus Elieser Bloch from the 18th century is a stunning example of scientific illustration during the golden age of natural history art. This piece was created as part of Bloch’s groundbreaking work Ichthyologie (1782–1795), depicting the disc-shaped harvestfish in shades of warm bronze with detailed fins and scales. Great for decorating coastal spaces and vintage studies alike!
