Fish

On this page are twenty colorful and fascinating illustrations of Fish. It is estimated that the number of fish in the world range from around 30,000 to over 35,000 described species. And that doesn’t include many more that have not been discovered, especially those living deep in the sea. This little collection of some of those fish include images of the Orange-Spotted Spinefoot, the Toadfish, the Old-Wife, the Tub-Fish and many more.
They are from the book Ichtylogie, ou Histoire Naturelle or Ichthyology, or Natural History: General and Particular of Fish written by Marcus Bloch and Jean-Charles Laveaus in 1785. In each description are the scientific and common names as given in the text. If you’re finding these drawings of useful, you should drop by the galleries with more Creatures Deep in the Ocean and other Clip Art of Fishes. Enjoy!
