The Anatomy of The Mysterious Merman A5
An A5 print of an original drawing, featuring the imagined anatomy of a feejee mermaid/Merman.
The perfect gift for the merman/mermaid fans in your life!
The original curiosities date to the 19th Century 'feejee mermaids' were displayed at sideshows such as that that of the famous showman, P. T Barnum. These were also often known as monkey-fish as they were believed to be made from the head of a monkey and the tail of a fish. However, The Horniman Museum merman was scanned an x-rayed some years ago, revealing that it was actually constructed from an array of materials, including wire, clay and cloth. This result was fascinating, but a little disappointing in the eyes of B&E! Here, the internal structure has been reimagined, revealing it's 'real' anatomy!
This is an A5 print of the original artwork by Laura Cronin aka Bumble & Earwig. Printed on Matte paper.
