Historiæ animalivm is a 1551 natural history of animals compiled by Conrad Gessner with Rondelet, Belon and Carronus, printed at Zurich by Christian Froschauer for scholars and naturalists. Its woodcuts show fish in profile, drawn with crisp hatching, scale patterns and fin rays, offering designers clear models for linework and hand-cut ornament.
