About the Item
This scarce first edition hand colored engraving is from Sir Charles Linnaeus & Ebenezer Sibley's "A Genuine and Universal System of Natural-History" or the "Magazine of Natural History." Carl Linnaeus (also known as Carl von Linné) was a Swedish botanist, zoologist, taxonomist, and physician who formalized binomial nomenclature, the modern system of naming organisms. He is known as the "father of modern taxonomy."
The engraving is by J. Pass after Marcus Eliezer Bloch (1723-1799) a famous German medical doctor, naturalist and ichthyologist. His richly illustrated primary work, "Allgemeine Natur-geschichte der Fische (The General Natural History of Fish)" also known according to the short form of its French title as "Ichthyologie," is generally considered one of the most beautiful books on fishes ever published.
