Sturgeon Fish Illustration - Historical Scientific Drawing #3643981 (License: Personal Use)

This finely detailed woodcut or engraving depicts a sturgeon in lateral view, emphasizing its elongated, toothless snout equipped with four sensory barbels, rows of prominent ganoid scales (scutes) along the dorsal, lateral, and ventral lines, and a heterocercal tail typical of ancient fish lineages. The illustration captures anatomical precision common in 19th-century natural history publications, reflecting both artistic skill and scientific intent.
