When Gustav von Hayek illustrated the fish plates for the Wielki atlas do zoologii, botaniki i mineralogii in 1887, he captured aquatic life with a scientific precision and chromatic mastery that no photograph of the era could match.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe front cover reproduces Plate 044 and the back cover Plate 045 from the Wielki atlas do zoologii, botaniki i mineralogii (Grand Atlas of Zoology, Botany, and Mineralogy), illustrated by Austrian naturalist Gustav von Hayek (1836–1911) and published in 1887. The plates present a remarkable diversity of fish species — freshwater and marine, tropical and temperate — each rendered with meticulous attention to anatomy, coloration, and character in the chromolithographic tradition of Austro-Hungarian natural history illustration at its finest.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Hardcover journal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePages: 150 lined pages (75 sheets) with perforations for easy removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBinding: Casewrap sewn binding — flexible and lay-flat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 5.75 × 8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 100 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCover: Matte laminated full-wrap print\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNote: small production barcode (0.5\" × 0.5\") on back cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLovers of natural history illustration and Victorian zoological art\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdmirers of Austro-Hungarian science and the great 19th-century atlases\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAquarium enthusiasts, marine biologists, and ichthyology students\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDivers, snorkelers, and ocean lovers documenting aquatic life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThoughtful gift for naturalists, collectors, and lovers of rare illustrated books\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone captivated by the beauty and diversity of fish in the natural world\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRead the story of Gustav von Hayek, the Wielki atlas, and the Austro-Hungarian tradition of natural history on our blog: \u003c\/em\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/new-old-time\/colour-from-the-deep-gustav-von-hayek-and-the-zoological-atlases-of-the-austro-hungarian-empire\"\u003eColour from the Deep\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cem\u003e.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Printify","offers":[{"title":"Journal","offer_id":63606691889521,"sku":"26500950424087998289","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/5367\/0769\/files\/Gustav_von_Hayek_1887_Fish_Journal_by_the_Sea.webp?v=1778702266","url":"https:\/\/lebonjournal.com\/products\/gustav-von-hayek-fish-journal-zoological-atlas-1887","provider":"LeBonJournal","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
