"From fairy tales to ancient myths, the fish tail has captivated our imagination throughout history. In Hans Christian Andersen's enchanting tale, The Little Mermaid, we are transported to a world where mermaids gracefully swim with their shimmering tails. This captivating lithograph from 1920 beautifully depicts the mermaid diving deep under the water and rising amidst the waves. But it is not just in folklore that we find these mesmerizing creatures. The Ancient Etruscan chimera showcases a fantastical fusion of different animals, including a fish tail that adds an element of mystery and intrigue. In this stunning pochoir print from 1922, we witness a mermaid attempting to devour the tantalizing salmon tail. It reminds us of the allure and power associated with these mythical beings. Even in religious art, such as this detail from The Last Supper fresco dating back to 1447, we see St. James the Less depicted with a fish-like appendage on his lower body—a subtle nod to symbolism surrounding fish tails. The combination of Ulysees and Dragon in Promethee Enchaine by Aeschylus further highlights how fish tails have been used across various artistic mediums for centuries. Not limited to mythology or literature alone, even encyclopedias like Encyclopaedia Londinensis featured detailed engravings showcasing beautiful mermaids adorned with intricate scales and flowing fishtails. Moving away from mythological depictions but still embracing nature's wonders, this page from Army and Navy Stores Catalogue (1939-40) showcases illustrations of fishes like salmon and trout—each displaying its unique finned beauty. And let us not forget about Fishtail Mountain—an awe-inspiring peak that stands tall against breathtaking landscapes—a testament to nature's grandeur. " Whether found within stories or gracing works of art or even existing naturally in our world, there is no denying the allure and fascination that surrounds the fish tail.
