Fish Red Perch Fisherman Art Throw Pillow

Antique fish engraving of red perch, or redfish - This fishing gift is based on an early coloured engraving by Mark Catesby (British, 1679-1749). The beautiful fish engraving is from "The Natural History of Carolina, Florida and the Bahama Islands", London, 1754 edition. The vintage fish engraving is titled "Perca rubra & C". The red perch is a common name of fish that refers to several species of fish. The Percua is actually the common Perch, a wonderful little game fish, generally living in fresh water. The saltwater dwelling red drum is also often referred to as a redfish or red perch. The vintage fish image of red perch shows two fish swimming past each other, the bottom fish is red while the top perch is grey and red. In many of our red perch fish gifts, there is a background showing light images of fish swimming by, and capped with a touch of calligraphy that talks about red perch.
