The Beauty of Original Boards
Title
The Beauty of Original Boards
Description
The nineteenth century ushered in an explosion of technical works on the anatomy of fish. Works on comparative anatomy were popular, as were detailed works on single species of fish. Bakker’s contribution to the anatomy of fish, Osteographia piscium (1822), includes a large atlas of plates (shown here) and a small octavo text volume.
