 BLOCH, Marcus Elieser (1723-1799, publisher)
Balistes Monoceros. Der Einhornfisch. La Licorne de Mer. The Mingo [Pl. 147]
[Pl. 147]. [Berlin: 1785-1797]. Engraving, coloured by hand, by Ludwig Schmidt after Krüger Jr. Very good condition apart from some overall light soiling. Plate mark: 7 5/8 x 14 1/4 inches. Sheet size: 9 1/2 x 16 5/8 inches.
A superb image from the greatest 18th-century work on fish, 'Ichthyologie, ou histoire naturelle, générale et particuliére des poissons', by Marcus Bloch.
Bloch was born in Anspach, Germany and practised as a doctor in Berlin. He later devoted himself to the study of natural history, particularly fish. In the tradition of the great naturalists of the period, Bloch accumulated his collection of specimens through local excursions, contacts in the marketplace and harbour, and correspondence. As his interest ranged beyond central Europe, he joined an existing network of scientific and scholarly contacts, who inspired him to attempt to describe and figure all the fishes of the then known world. His great work on fish,Ichthyologie, ou histoire naturelle, générale et particuliére des poissons, which was first published between 1785 and 1797, was the result. In this work, over 200 species were described for the first time by Bloch, and each specimen was engraved on copper and then coloured by hand with watercolours.
