Description

291 beautifully detailed etchings of fish and other sea animals.  Biological Illustrations in JPG format, printable for cards and crafts, scrapbooks, jewelry, and large enough for framed art prints.  Also included are PDF files of the complete text and set of plates.

These images represent the various species of fish, marine mammals, and shellfish that were considered to be of economic value in the late 1800s. In addition to many varieties of fish, you'll find pictures of whales and sea lions, manatees, crabs and shellfish, a few seashells, even a few maps.  The images have a mostly sepia / brown tone, as you can see in the samples.

These are large enough to mat and frame as prints, lovely for your home or business.  Great for a kitchen, bed or bath, den or study -- decorate your office or restaurant or vacation home -- even sell prints in your antique shop or flea market stall!  Perfect for shabby decorating or a more traditional antique Victorian look. Very versatile (great for notes & cards, too).  Makes a wonderful & unique gift for fishermen or anyone who loves antique images of nature and the sea.

These beautifully naturalistic and detailed antique pictures are perfect to print for cardmaking, scrapbooking, altered art projects, tags, magnets, decoupage and other crafts, even jewelry making! Excellent un-tapped resource for artists and home crafters as well as decorators.  Create cards, collage, mixed media, assemblage, decoupage, gift tags and hang tags, labels, primitives, jewelry, fabric arts, and endless other creative projects.  The only limit is your imagination.  

About These Images

These images are adapted from the 1880s Historical Atlas "USEFUL AQUATIC ANIMALS."  Many of the original etchings are beautiful works of art that transcend the original purpose of describing a species. The care taken in producing these images was remarkable. Scale structure, facial appearance, teeth, and many other details of external appearance are apparent in these images.
