Scarlet Parrotfish Illustration

This vintage illustration showcases the Scarus vetula, commonly known as the Queen Parrotfish, rendered in exquisite detail. The artwork, attributed to A. H. Baldwin and published by Julius Bien & Co. Lith. N.Y., depicts the fish at approximately three-fourths natural size. The vibrant coloration, with scales of teal and coral, accented by fins of yellow, green, and pink, highlights the natural beauty of this marine species. The scientific name 'SCARUS VETULA BLOCH & SCHNEIDER' is clearly printed below the illustration, alongside plate number '31'. This piece is a fine example of historical ichthyological art, perfect for educational materials, marine biology enthusiasts, or decorative art with a natural history theme.
