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

Poster of a sturgeon, 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 reproduction exquisitely illustrates the common sturgeon (Acipenser sturio), an iconic fish of European waters, now rare and protected. The engraving highlights the species' characteristic anatomical details: an elongated body armored with bony plates, powerful fins, and a pointed snout equipped with sensory barbels. At the bottom of the image, a cross-section of the head allows one to appreciate the scientific precision of the illustration, typical of Bloch's work. This poster will appeal to enthusiasts of natural history, traditional fishing, or vintage decor. Perfect for freshwater fishing enthusiasts, it evokes the world of deep rivers, bottom lines, traps and other drift nets historically used to capture this legendary fish, particularly in the Gironde estuaries.
