Original antique print of various molluscs including the Boltenia Ovifera, a species of ascidian tunicates in the family Pyuridae. It is found in the Arctic to the South of Cape Cod. This print originates from 'Bilderbuch fur Kinder' by F.J. Bertuch. Friedrich Johann Bertuch (1747-1822) was a German publisher and man of arts most famous for his 12-volume encyclopedia for children illustrated with 1,200 engraved plates on natural history, science, costume, mythology, etc., published from 1790-1830.
