61 Robert Benard - The sole - Angelfish Print
Description
This exquisite print is from the largest reference work of the Enlightenment, the 196-volume 'Tableau Encyclopédique et Méthodique des Trois Règnes de la Nature', published in Paris between 1789 and 1832.
French naturalist, professor, and priest Pierre Joseph Bonnaterre (1752-1804) was commissioned by the publisher Panckoucke to edit the sections on zoology. To illustrate the ichthyology volume, Bonnaterre copied everything available from Bloch’s masterpiece and works by eminent authors such as Catesby, Willughby, Rondelet, and Salviani, assembling a collection of over 400 wonderful species.
