Poster of the clownfish, based on an engraving from 1746 by the artist and naturalist Marcus Elieser Bloch. Dimensions: 21 X 29 cm. Frame not included. Thick high-quality paper, 250g. Sent well protected in a rigid package. This faithful reproduction finely illustrates two emblematic species of clownfish: the Tontelton (Anthias polymna) and the Jordaine (Anthias bifasciatus), identifiable by their sharp white bands contrasting with the orange hues of their stocky bodies. The drawing, meticulously hand-coloured according to 18th-century techniques, also shows details of developing eggs, highlighting the care taken in scientific observation of the time. This poster will find its place in a seaside interior, an aquarium enthusiast's office, or a fishing shop. It will appeal to fans of coral reefs and tropical fish, as well as collectors of marine objects. It evokes the atmosphere of the lagoons where these fish thrive, often caught at the time using traps, fine nets, or specially rigged hooks for capturing reef fish.
