About the Work

Lost Fish is a stunning collection of antique illustrations featuring endangered marine life, published by luxury book publisher Assouline. With over 200 detailed illustrations, this book offers a unique opportunity to appreciate the beauty of life underwater while reflecting on the changing aquatic environment. The illustrations are taken from the nineteenth-century scientific anthology of The Count de Lapecede, a leading authority on aquatic species at the time. Through these intricate prints, readers are reminded of the fragility of our environment and provided with a visual history. The ornate details and lavish colors pay homage to the fleeting species of the ocean and serve as a poignant reminder of the importance of conservation. These prints, reminiscent of an enlightened era of scientific illustration, depict the beautiful vulnerability of marine life in a simple and isolated backdrop. Don't miss your chance to own a piece of this celebratory embodiment before it's too late.
