About the Item
This exquisite antique copper engraving of Cyprinus Carpio (The Carp) is an original hand-colored print by Marcus Elieser Bloch (1723–1799) from his monumental ichthyological work “Ichthyologie, ou Histoire naturelle des poissons”, published between 1782–1795.
Bloch was one of the most influential ichthyologists of the 18th century, and his detailed scientific illustrations remain unmatched in their precision and beauty. This engraving was originally printed in 1790, and features the carp in natural size, accompanied by anatomical detail. The labels are trilingual: Latin, French, and German, as was customary in Bloch’s multilingual scientific publication.
The engraving is preserved in a beautifully handcrafted stepped frame with original passe-partout and protected under glass. This is a genuine historical artifact, ideal for collectors of scientific art, antique natural history, or 18th-century decorative prints.
