9819 Jules Rothschild (c. 1838–1912) – Pomfret (Brama Raii) – Chromolithograph (c. 1870s)
This chromolithograph illustrates the Pomfret, a widely distributed marine fish known for its deep, almost circular, and streamlined body shape. The print uses subtle color washes to capture the fish's natural metallic sheen, with a silvery-blue dorsal area fading into a paler belly. This accurate scientific illustration was published in Les Poissons by Gervais and Boulart, an influential French zoological atlas that documented various species of aquatic fauna in the late 19th century.
Jules Rothschild was a prominent French publisher and editor who operated a publishing house in Paris during the late 19th century. His firm specialized in natural history, science, and technical works, known for producing books with exceptional, high-quality illustrations using the innovative chromolithography technique. His publications, including Les Poissons, were central to disseminating scientific knowledge through visually striking and accurate plates.
