Artwork Story

Originally illustrated for Fauna Japonica (1833–1850) by German naturalist Philipp Franz von Siebold, this detailed portrayal of Dactyloptena orientalis—commonly known as the flying gurnard—captures the graceful spread of its wing-like pectoral fins. With its striking colors and anatomical precision, this archival print has been carefully restored and color-corrected to honor the integrity of the original engraving.

Ideal for collectors of vintage ichthyology or those with a passion for marine aesthetics.
