Cyprinus acratus Fish Drawing
Another stunning, hand-colorized fish image from the talented ichthyologist Marcus Elieser Bloch. Bloch was well known for his two large anthologies which included over 400 hand-colored plates. He is said to have named the fish for his patrons so while this fish bears the original name Cyprinus Acratus, it looks much like a goldfish to me. Artist: Marcus Elieser Bloch (1723 - 1799) Image Appears In: Ichtylogie, ou Histoire naturelle, génerale et particuliére des poissons Date Image Published: 1782-97 Check out ourAbout Us page for more information on Copyright Durations. This image is copyright free and in the public domain anywhere that extends copyrights 70 years after death or at least 120 years after publication when the original illustrator is unknown.
