Poster of a sailfish, after a 1746 engraving by the artist and naturalist Marcus Elieser Bloch. Dimensions: 21 X 29 cm. Frame not included. High-quality, heavyweight paper, 250 gsm. Shipped securely in a rigid package. This illustration highlights the sailfish, recognizable by its tall, colorful, sail-like dorsal fin and its long, thin, pointed bill. This impressive fish is often found in tropical and warm temperate waters. The engraving precisely details its glossy, bluish-tinged scales, as well as its distinctive pectoral and pelvic fins. Sailfish are often caught using light tackle or reels, with lures or live bait that imitate the small fish they feed on. Trolling is also a very popular fishing technique, requiring sturdy rods and powerful reels to handle the strength of this marine fighter.
