Title A name given to the resource The Beauty of Original Boards Description An account of the resource 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.

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.
