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

Clownfish poster, 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 faithful reproduction exquisitely illustrates two iconic clownfish species: the Tontelton (Anthias polymna) and the Jordan (Anthias bifasciatus), recognizable by their distinct white bands contrasting with the orange hues of their stocky bodies. The drawing, meticulously hand-colored using 18th-century techniques, also shows details of developing eggs, highlighting the care taken in scientific observation at the time. This poster would be a perfect addition to a seaside home, an aquarium enthusiast's office, or a fishing shop. It will appeal to lovers of coral reefs and tropical fish, as well as collectors of marine objects. It evokes the atmosphere of the lagoons where these fish live, often caught at the time using traps, fine nets or hooks specially rigged for catching reef fish.
