Antique lithograph depicting the tropical marine fish Zebrasoma flavescens, commonly known as the yellow tang. This detailed representation showcases the fish in its vibrant yellow coloring and delicate fin structure, rendered in what appears to be natural size. The artwork is credited to A.H. Baldwin as the artist and is noted as being "ad nat. del.," indicating that the drawing was made from nature. It is further embellished by the signature of Julius Bien & Co. Lith N.Y., a firm renowned for their high-quality lithographic work in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Preserved under glass and framed in a classic, ornate gilded frame, this piece is a blend of scientific illustration and artistic expression. The meticulous attention to detail and the historical significance of the lithograph make it an exceptional find for collectors of antique prints, ichthyology enthusiasts, and art aficionados with a penchant for marine life.
