About the Item

Set of two original antique fish prints. Ratfish or rabbitfish, Chimaera monstrosa. Sea sturgeon, Acipenser sturio 27, and underside 28.

Gottlieb Tobias Wilhelm (1758 – 1811) was a Protestant pastor and natural history writer, and the son of Christian Art Wilhelm, an art dealer and publisher in Augsburg, Bavaria, Germany.
