EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning illustration titled "Poon Triglidae Whiting Asellus Mollis Merlangius". The artwork, part of the sixth album commissioned by Emperor Rudolf II in the early 17th century, features intricate drawings of fish, shells, and insects. In this particular piece, we are introduced to a peculiar kind of poon known as Triglidae. Contrary to its title suggesting it is a whiting, the drawing clarifies that it belongs to the genus Merlangius and not whiting. The top right corner displays its number as 14 while also presenting the name in five different languages. The artist behind this masterpiece is Anselmus Boetius de Boodt who meticulously captured every detail using various mediums such as pencil, chalk, watercolor paint, deck paint, ink pen on paper. Measuring approximately 159 mm in height and 280 mm in width, this artwork truly exemplifies De Boodt's exceptional talent. Accompanying this extraordinary illustration are explanations written in Dutch Latin and French languages providing further insight into these bony fishes' characteristics (with NAME). This remarkable collection serves as an invaluable resource for studying animals, birds plants prevalent during the late Renaissance period
