Poster of the anglerfish, after a 1746 engraving by the artist and naturalist Marcus Elieser Bloch. Dimensions: 21 X 29 cm. Frame not included. High-quality, thick paper, 250 gsm. Shipped securely in a rigid package. This antique engraving depicts the anglerfish, a deep-sea fish known for its distinctive appearance and large pectoral fins. The drawing highlights the fish's massive, flattened head, characterized by a wide mouth lined with sharp teeth, ideal for capturing prey in the deep sea. Fine details are also visible, such as the sensory filaments, often used to attract the fish with a natural lure. This type of fish is often caught using specific techniques such as trawling or line fishing with hooks adapted to its size and strength. The precision of the lines and the fineness of the coloring on thick paper highlight the quality of an old work that will appeal to fishing enthusiasts and collectors of natural art.
