Historical illustration from 1913 depicting three freshwater eel species underwater along a rocky riverbed. The top eel is slender with a dark dorsal side and lighter belly, showing detailed fin structures along its length. Below, two other eels display different head shapes: one on the bottom left has a narrow head, and the middle one has a broader head. The background includes aquatic plants and water surface reflections, emphasizing their natural habitat. The drawing is signed by Heinrich Harder and labeled in German, highlighting anatomical differences among the eels.

Historical illustration titled "The Fishes of India" showing detailed, black-and-white lithographic drawings of three species of stingrays or rays related to the cow fish group. The rays are shown from a top-down view, highlighting their broad, flat bodies, distinct eyes, and long, whip-like tails. Also included are detailed close-ups of skeletal and dermal plate structures. The species are labeled as Urogymnus asperrimus, Trygon sephen, T. bleekeri, and Rhinoptera javanica, emphasizing scientific classification and anatomy of these cow fish. The artwork is finely detailed, printed by Mintern Bros and originally lithographed by C. Achilles, dating from 1875-1878.

Historical illustration depicting four fish species, with a focus on two seahorses. The first seahorse (Fig. 3) shows a small, vertically oriented body with a curled tail, bony plates, and a distinctive horse-like head. The second seahorse (Fig. 4) is slender and elongated, resembling a pipefish with a long, narrow body and small fins. Other fish include a broad, rounded fish with textured skin and wide fins (Fig. 2) and a streamlined, silver-scaled fish with large eyes and forked tail (Fig. 1). The illustration includes handwritten scientific annotations in German, referencing Abyssinian fauna, printed between 1835 and 1840.
