Insects and Fish with Island Background by Maria Sibylla Merian (ca. 1719)
Various fish are shown in the water, and insects are shown on trees and land.

"Hand-coloured etching from Maria Sibylla Merian's seminal Metamorphasibus Insectorum Surinamensium, the product of two years of research — from 1699 to 1701 — in the then-Dutch colony of Surinam. It was first published in 1705 in
Amsterdam, with a number of subsequent editions issued over the next decades."- from the Public Domain Image Archive
