Poster of scorpionfish and gurnards, after an 1849 engraving from Charles Dessalines D'Orbigny's Universal Dictionary of Natural History. Dimensions: 21 X 29 cm. Frame not included. High-quality, thick paper, 250 gsm. Shipped securely in a rigid package. This superb naturalist illustration depicts two iconic deep-sea fish: the red scorpionfish (Scorpaena porcus) and the common gurnard (Trigla hirundo). The meticulous details highlight their spiny fins, orange-red scales, and expressive heads, typical of benthic fish. Ideal for a nautical theme or a cabinet of curiosities, this poster evokes the antique plates found in 19th-century naturalist collections.
