Fish. Common Grey Mullet. Antique Print c1894

Original (hand-coloured) wood engraving after a sketch by German artist Gustav Mutzel for a zoological encyclopedia Illustrirtes Tierleben by Alfred Edmund Brehm (1829-1884). First published in Leipzig between 1864 and 1869, republished in Austria circa 1896 as Brehm’s Tierleben (Life of Animals), this work was republished circa 1894 by Frederick Warne and Company of London & New York for “The Royal Natural History” by Richard Lydekker B.A., F.G.S., F.Z.S., Etc. (sic.).

This lovely little engraving has a lined background, that is not as prominent in actuality as in this scanned image.

This engraving is mounted in 50mm wide archival board and covered with cellophane for protection. The actual image measures 70 x.140mm (2 3/4" x 5 1/2").
