Title A name given to the resource A Japanese Binding Description An account of the resource One significant new direction in my collection since A History of Fish debuted is my effort to collect books in less-common languages and from non-Western authors. This set, purchased from a bookseller in Japan, includes the complete fish section of the Wakan Sansai Zue encyclopedia. Including non-Western titles in my collection reveals interesting ways that various cultures have viewed and classified fish. For example, these volumes divide fish into four main classes: “Fish in rivers and lakes with scales,” “Fish in estuaries and seas with scales,” “Fish in rivers and lakes without scales,” and “Fish in estuaries and seas without scales.” Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Justin Hanisch (photographer) Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Wakan Sansai Zue [Volumes 48-51, comprising the complete fish section of the encyclopedia] Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Ryōan Terajima (compiler) Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource n. d.

Title A name given to the resource A Selection of Fish Description An account of the resource In addition to the diversity of perspectives that non-Western books bring to my collection, the physical books themselves reveal differing characteristics of book-making around the world. These Japanese books are bound by punching holes through the boards and text block and then externally stitching the boards and text block together with a string. The pages themselves are made from a thin but supple type of paper folded in half with printed portions on only the outside, but not the inside, surfaces of the resulting folded leaf.

Title A name given to the resource Two Catfish Description An account of the resource Illustrators and printers have struggled with how best to represent the vibrant colours and unusual shapes of fish on the page. The invention of chromolithography presented a new way to print in colour, and this technique was quickly used to print images of fish. Strack’s Naturgeschichte in Bildern mit erläuterndem [1826] was one of the fish books to use chromolithography to show the diversity of beautiful fish.

Title A name given to the resource Title Page from Renard’s Poissons Description An account of the resource Renard’s Poissons, Ecrevisses et Crabes is one of the most significant books on fish. It is frequently cited as the first book about fish to be issued from the publisher with coloured plates and is well-known among natural history collectors for its scarcity, value, and vibrant—sometimes outlandish—coloured plates. Unfortunately, these same plates make the book exceptionally attractive to biblioclasts, and copies of the book are being broken and sold leaf-by-leaf even today. This title page is from one of two broken copies of Renard’s Poissons that I have purchased from the sellers who were actively breaking the books. I have managed to preserve bindings, some text leaves, and a selection of plates from each of these two formerly complete copies. Although each book represents only a fraction of what it once was, I am happy to have preserved what I could.
