This print titled "River Fishing, from 1584" takes us back in time to the enchanting world of ancient Rome. Created by the French School in the 19th century, this engraving is a facsimile of a wood engraving found in Pliny's Latin edition from 1584. The scene depicts a serene river setting where fishing was an essential part of daily life. A woman dressed in traditional attire stands gracefully on a boat, her focus fixed on the water below. With skillful precision, she casts her net into the glistening river, hoping for a bountiful catch. The artist beautifully captures not only the act of fishing but also transports us to another era with intricate details and vibrant colors. The colorization adds depth and realism to this historical illustration, allowing us to imagine ourselves witnessing this scene firsthand.

Through its rich historical context and artistic brilliance, "River Fishing" invites us to appreciate both the natural sciences and social history that shaped our world centuries ago.
