"Between 1952 and 1954, we published, in collaboration with Dr. Novella and J. Roland in the 'Bulletin of Experimental Work Station of Aquaculture and Fishing', a Scientific Catalogue of the Fishes of the Algerian Coast [on the Mediterranean Sea]. Following me step by step on my long term study of the Mediterranean fish was Dr. W. Goeau-Brissoniere, a very dear friend, informed scientist, fisherman at sea and impenitent artist.

As is apparent in this work Brissoniere took great care in his watercolor paintings of each fish that I caught. I sincerely believe that all those who are interested in things of the sea will fall in love with the rich beauty and artistic perfection in these designs."

Each print is approximately 9 1/2 inches by 12 1/2 inches with bright, vibrant color on slightly creamy, glossy paper that is generally unblemished. There is no descriptive text, but a copy of the title on the folio cover will be provided. These prints are hand finished lithographs and was published by the Care Station of Aquaculture and Fishing.
