A popular ichthyology handbook by David Starr Jordan and Barton Warren Evermann, published in London by Hutchinson in 1902 for anglers and amateur naturalists, with identification keys, life histories and capture methods for the fishes of America north of the equator. The text drawings are lateral profile portraits of single fish in ink, built from dense stipple and fine hatching that renders scale rows, fin rays and spines, each cut out against blank paper and usable as isolated silhouettes or repeating motifs.
