The "Natural History of Foreign Fish" is widely regarded as containing the finest ichthyological plates ever produced.

The prints are on thick chain-lined paper with strong impression marks. Species names are given in Latin, German, French, and occasionally English.All plate markings are present but may be cropped in the photos. The plates are very clean.
