from NOAA´s site:
These wonderful works resulted from a study undertaken in the 1880's by George Brown Goode, Deputy Commissioner of the United States Commission of Fish and Fisheries. The purpose of this study was to capture the state of the American fisheries at that time and to use the knowledge gained as a base line for future studies. Goode admirably succeeded in this, but at the same time he also captured an interesting segment of Nineteenth Century Americana and helped describe a significant part of the marine environment.Want a new desktop background image?

These are too cool, I remember seeing some of them at your house. I was wondering if your logo was an upside down fish, with the head on backwards, but no, just a illustration.
ReplyDeleteNow, where are the illustrations of the giant squid, the sea serpent, and my favorite, the lock ness monster? I guess, not in Wisconsin.
this fish (in the header) is a California Flying Fish. The best of all worlds, no.
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking the time to discuss this, would you mind updating your blog with more information? It is extremely helpful for me.
