Fish Antique Print of Salmon and Sea Trout. Antique Print c1894

Original (hand-coloured) wood engraving after a sketch by F.(?)Braune for a zoological encyclopedia Illustrirtes Tierleben by Alfred Edmund Brehm (1829-1884). First published in Leipzig between 1864 and 1869, it was republished in Austria circa 1896 as Brehm’s Tierleben (Life of Animals). The colour-printing of the lithographs for this work are of superb quality. In 1894 it was republished 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 engraving has a lined background, that is not as prominent as in this scanned image.

This engraving is mounted in 50mm wide archival board and covered with cellophane for protection. The actual image measures 135 x.140mm (5 1/4" x 5 1/2").
