🦄 Poissons, ecrevisses et crabes, de diverses couleurs et figures extraordinaires, . A Amsterdam, Chez Reinier & Josué Ottens, 1754.. Original source Image description: Historical illustration showing eight vibrantly colored fish species labeled with names like “Tandock,” “Touring,” and “Bazuin Fenel.” Each fish features unique patterns, such as stripes, spots, and fins with fine details. The fish vary in shape, from long and slender to round and flattened, depicted in lively shades of pink, blue, green, orange, and brown. The elongated fish at the bottom resembles a mythical unicorn with a long, pointed snout, linking the image to the “unicorn” keyword. The illustration appears on aged, off-white paper with neat, handwritten titles and numbering beside each fish, dated 1754 and credited to Amsterdam publishers Reinier & Josué Ottens.
