Background:
These colorful Fish prints are from a guide to the Fish of the British
Islands authored by Jonathan Couch (1789-1870), a country doctor from Polperro, a small
fishing village in Cornwall. Couch, an authority on fishes, also did the sketches
which were finished by Alexander Lydon, with the wood block engraving by Benjamin Fawcett.
Many of the engraved plates were finished by hand.
