Green Parrotfish (Scarus viridis) - Historical Scientific Illustration #1375160 (License: Personal Use)

The image is a finely detailed copperplate engraving from the late 18th century, likely出自 Bloch’s *Ichthyologie* or similar natural history works, featuring Scarus viridis with precise anatomical accuracy. Its scales are rendered in gradated greens and browns, the lips and beak vividly colored pinkish-red, and the dorsal fin edged with delicate spines. The fish is shown in lateral profile against a neutral background, typical of Linnaean-era ichthyological plates.

Used in educational, museum, or historical biology contexts-especially for illustrating taxonomic history, marine biodiversity, or the evolution of scientific illustration. Targets users researching historical zoology, marine taxonomy, or antique natural history prints.
