The Victorians and Edwardians made large numbers of sculptures of fishes. The most common single type, though, is often mistaken for a dolphin. The ancient classical dolphin, taken as a model and inspiration for countless artworks ever since, has a recognizably delphinic body, sleek and pear shaped, but a very short, flat beak compared to real dolphins. So when we see sculptures with this sort of round head and stretched mouth, it is easy to think of them as dolphin statues. But the tails are horizontal, the fins spiny rather than what should be smooth flippers to the sides, the bodies scaly, so these would seem to be intended as true fishes, not dolphins - sturgeons have been suggested.
