Below you will find eighteen amazing illustrations of Beautiful Fish. There are fish such as the Grouper, Snapper, Angelfish, and much more. They come from the book Poissons, Ecrevisses et Crabes… which was written by Mr. Louis Renard in 1754. Translations from the original French and other languages are taken from Fishes, Crayfishes and Crabs: Louis Renard’s Natural History of the Rarest Curiosities of the Seas of the Indies authored by Professor Theodore W. Pietsch in 1995. In each description, you’ll find the original name of the creature as given in Renard’s book, and the translated, accepted, and common names given in Pietsch’s edition. If you’re having fun with these lovely fish, make sure to check out the galleries with Sea Crabs and other Fish Images. Enjoy!
