Description
Deutsch: "Jenny Haniver " kleinen Drachen Form. Alt Sammlung von Jules berdoulat. Erhalten von einem Geigenrochen - Zwei Ansichten des gleichen Exemplars.
English: "Jenny Haniver " little dragon form. Former Jules Berdoulat collection. Obtained from one Guitarfish - Two views of same specimen.You actually see a stingray. 18-th century sailors, especially Dutch, were masters to transform this stuffed fishes, they sold as evidence of the existence of sea monsters. This specimen dates from this period. It owes its preservation to the multiple layers of varnish. This fraud continues even today, with android forms (see article quoted above). The "Little Dragon" form is extremely clever and very difficult to do. Human imagination has no limit.
Français : « Jenny Haniver » ; forme "petit dragon". Ancienne collection de Jules Berdoulat. Obtenue à partir d’une Rhinobatidae - Deux vues du même spécimen. Vous voyez en fait une raie. Au XVIIIe siècle les marins, surtout hollandais, étaient passé maîtres pour la transformation taxidermique de ses poissons qu’ils revendaient alors comme des preuves de l’existence de monstre marin. L’exemplaire représenté date de cette époque. Il doit sa conservation aux multiples couches de vernis. Cette supercherie se perpétue encore de nos jours, avec des formes androïdes. La forme « Petit dragon » est extrêmement ingénieuse et très difficile à faire. L’imagination de l’homme n’a pas de limite.
