Icones animalium quadrupedum uiuiparorum et ouiparorum : quae in Historiae animalium Conradi Gesneri libro I. et II. describuntur, cum nomenclaturis singulorum latinis, graecis, italicis, gallicis, et germanicis plerunque, et aliarum quoque linguarum, certis ordinibus digestae
Icones animalium is a 1560 Zurich book of woodcut animal portraits by Conrad Gessner, printed by Christoph Froschauer, serving as a natural history reference for naturalists and scholars. The four fish woodcuts show strongly outlined profiles with dense hatching and stippled scales, a clear model for designers wanting carved, scientific-looking fish with simple linework and texture.
