Two soft creases in lower right margin, soft crease at lower left of image, four 1/4 inch archivally mended edge tears (outside image area). A chromolithograph of the highest quality, capturing the subtle coloration of the fish portrayed, produced for William Harris' publication "The Fishes Of North America" which was published in 1898 (Bennett, American Nineteenth Century Color Plate Books p.51).
