Engravings. They are taken from the book by Giovanni Volta Serafino "Veronese ichthyolithology of the Bozziano museum ..", published in 1796, the first and only edition of this important palaeontology treatise that reproduces 123 species of fish, many in real size. The two-volume work, 54 x 40 cm in size, consisted of 76 intaglio plates, of which 20 folded, numbered I-LXXVI. The three proposals, which present the evident folds, correspond to tables N. XXI (the Derbio), the N. XL (the Globe) and the largest N. LXI (the Torpedine). The three engravings are presented in serial frames.
