This precise black-and-white line drawing depicts an Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) in lateral view, showcasing its characteristic barbel on the chin, large pectoral fin, three dorsal fins, and forked caudal fin. The meticulous stippling and cross-hatching render realistic texture of overlapping cycloid scales and musculature. Such illustrations were historically used in ichthyological texts to document species morphology before color photography became widespread.
