Add to basketKupferstich, altkoloriert. Blattmaße: ca. 24 x 39 cm. Wohlerhaltenes Blatt. Beeinträchtigungen, die auf den Bildern nicht erkennbar sind, werden an dieser Stelle angegeben. Tafel 170 aus dem Werk: Allgemeine Naturgeschichte der Fische, von Bloch, Marcus Elieser (1723-1799), erschienen bei in Berlin, 1782-1795. Aus dem opulentest…en Werk der Ichthyologie, das jemals gedruckt worden ist. Marcus Elieser Bloch war Sohn eines Rabbiners und wuchs in prekärsten Verhältnissen auf. Zunächst als Hauslehrer eines Hamburger Wundarztes beschäftigt, eignete er sich die Grundkenntnisse der Anatomie an und siedelte bald nach Berlin über, wo er durch die Unterstützung ortsansässiger Verwandter ein Studium der Medizin begann. Sein Augenmerk galt aber in erster Linie der Zoologie, insbesondere dem Studium der Fischfauna der Weltmeere. Seine Allgemeine Naturgeschichte der Fische, die in den ersten 3 Bänden die Fischfauna Deutschlands behandelte, in den weiteren 9 Bänden jene anderer europäischer und exotischer Gegenden, war nicht allein ein wissenschaftliches Meisterwerk, sonder war darüberhinaus geprägt von einer zuvor nicht erblickten künstlerischen Qualität in der Darstellung jener Lebewesen. Bemerkenswert ist dabei, daß Bloch größtenteils auf seine eigene Sammlung ichthyologischer Specimen als Vorlage zurückgriff, und nur selten auf andere Quellen vertraute. Die enormen Produktionskosten für die Illustration dieses Werkes konnte Bloch dadurch bestreiten, daß er die einen Großteil der Tafeln von Geldgebern finanzieren ließ, deren Unterstützung durch einen gestochenen Vermerk auf selbigem der Öffentlichkeit bekannt gegeben wurde. Unter diesen finden sich naturgemäß zahlreiche hochstehende Persönlichkeiten der Zeit von Rang und Namen. - Wir haben etwa 80 Tafeln des Werkes im Angebot, darunter zahlreiche der HIghlights, wie den Weißen Hai, mehrere Rochenarten, Fetzenfisch, Salmoniden, diverse Süßwasserfische, Moränen und Igelfische. - ENGLISH: Copper engraving with original hand colouring. Leaf size app. 24 x 39 cm (1 inch = 2.54 cm). Very well preserved, in fine condition (any defects which cannot be seen in the images, would be stated here). Plate 170 from the work: Allgemeine Naturgeschichte der Fische, by Bloch, Marcus Elieser (1723-1799), published with in Berlin, 1782-1795. From the most magnificient work on ichthyology ever published. Marcus Elieser Bloch was son of a rabbi grewing up in grinding poverty. Despite lacking knowledge of writing and reading German, his education in Hebraic language provided him a position as tutor to the family of a surgeon in the city of Hamburg. Directing his interests towards anatomy during that period he later moved to Berlin for studying medicine, a chance he could only grab through the assistance of local family. His main focus however lay on zoology, especially the study of fishes to which he devoted a significant period of his life-time. His work "Allgemeine Naturgeschichte der Fische" (=Natural History of fishes), of which the first 3 parts were devoted to the species native to Germany while the others were dealing with other European and a wast amount of exotic species, must not only be regarded as a scientific masterpiece that is still referred to today, but also as a masterpiece of art employing many of the foremost engravers at that time. Remarkable though is, that Bloch for the vast majority of species depicted did not drew from foreign sources but from specimens being part of his private collection (today housed in the Humbold-University of Berlin). As the costs for illustrating his opus magnus were simply tremendous, Bloch also invented (?) a new way of fundraising: Since many of the plates could first be brought into print by the engagement of high-standing persons - those oftenly comming from the Prussian nobility - Bloch immortalized their merits for the progress of natural history in stating their names in the print itself at a prominent place just beyond the species depicted while the capti.
