AF-NB-0582.T.jpg

Image of a fish with jagged protrusions and two long thorn-like projections atop its head, with a noose of rope about its tail and a hook caught through its open mouth. Above the fish is what appears to be a top view, with many spiny protrusions from the fins, and the text, "Remarkable manne Insect. Gent Mag. Oct. 1764." Below the fish runs the text, "Representation of a Large Fish taken near Bristol."
