Lacepede - Fish. 99
This beautifully hand-colored engraving is from Bernard-Germain-Etienne, comte de Lacepede's Oeuvres Du Comte De Lacepede. The work was the edition published in Brussels between 1833 and 1839.

Lacepede (1756-1825) was a noble naturalist, survivor of the French revolution, and collaborator of noted publisher Buffon. This work is considered a continuation Buffon's Histoire Naturelle, with him publishing the parts on fishees, reptiles, and cetaceans.
