Poster about the sawfish, based on an old engraving from 1746.

Poster of a sawfish, 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 magnificent illustration depicts a sawfish in a precise and strikingly modern naturalist style. It shows a specimen, recognizable by its long, saw-like, toothed rostrum, used to probe the sand for prey. The engraving also highlights the internal structure of the snout, a true hunting tool. The contrast between the bluish hues of the streamlined body and the ochre tones of the rostrum gives this image a striking artistic dimension. Sought after by collectors and enthusiasts of marine curiosities alike, this fish is one of the iconic species found in tropical regions, often caught using gillnets, bottom lines, or longlines. A beautiful decorative object for enthusiasts of ichthyology or ancient fishing.
