Original Antique Fish Print: Tautog or Blackfish by Sherman F Denton 1900

Description: . Sherman Foote Denton (1856-1937) is best known for the nature drawings that he was commissioned to illustrate for the US Fish Commission (later the Fish and Wildlife Service) and the Forest, Fish and Game Commissioner's Reports for New York State. Born in Wellesley, Massachusetts , S.F. Denton was a multi-talented artist, scientist and skilled entrepreneur in business. From a family of naturalists, Sherman, along with his brothers William, Winsford and Shelley (a noted naturalist in his time) became famous at the 1900 Paris Exposition for their award-winning moth and butterfly collections. Sherman Denton was also renowned among the leading naturalists of his day for developing and patenting methods to preserve fish, butterflies and moths in a much more life-like state. Here we have the "Tautog (Tautoga Onitis)", or the Blackfish. This is an ORIGINAL print!! NOT a modern reproduction or reprint!! This beautiful 124 year old 8 x 11 1/2 inch print is in Very Good condition, very suitable for framing or a great gift idea. This is from New York State's Forest, Fisheries & Game Commission Reports for the year 1897, published in 1898. Please see all the scans to appreciate the fine detail & vibrant colors! Shipping via USPS 1st Class mail is $4.95 for up to 6 prints, so please see my other Fish & Wildlife before paying. (please note: I also have some Denton fish with a "Buy it now" option, if you end up paying any more than the $4.95 shipping for up to 6 prints, I will immediately refund the difference!!) Any other questions at all please ask & I WILL respond promptly & thanks for looking!!!
