A comprehensive grid of meticulously detailed freshwater and saltwater fish species fills this natural history illustration, each specimen rendered in precise watercolor with subtle gradations of green, brown, red, and gold tones. The compositions is calm and orderly, presenting the fish in profile against a cream background with small identifying text below, evoking the scientific naturalism of classical ichthyology guides. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
