A ready-made vintage fish and sea-life junk journal kit of 20 printable natural history watercolours painted about 1765 to 1770 by Luigi Balugani, the artist on James Bruce's expedition to the Red Sea and Abyssinia: a lionfish, surgeonfish and striped triggerfish, puffers, an angelfish, butterflyfish, a batfish, groupers, soldierfish and squirrelfish, wrasse and snappers, each painted from life on warm cream paper. Soft gouache colours and plenty of open paper around each fish make them perfect for ocean, coastal and natural history journals, collage, planners, scrapbooking, card making and wall art.

Print sizes at 300 dpi (they vary by piece type; files are never resized):
• Watercolour and gouache fish studies (20): about 12 × 16 in up to 13 × 18 in, big enough for A4 / letter prints and framing
Everything also prints smaller (A5, A6, tags, ATCs) with no loss.

Pieces included: Lionfish; Pink fish from the Red Sea; Surgeonfish; Striped triggerfish; Green and violet wrasse; Pink snapper; Brown banded reef fish; Red soldierfish; Red squirrelfish; Spotted grouper; Blue-spotted red grouper; Pufferfish; Spotted pufferfish; Angelfish; Striped butterflyfish; Yellow butterflyfish; Batfish; Striped sergeant fish; Pink wrasse; Olive wrasse.

Files: 20 high-resolution JPGs in one zip download (54 MB). Pixel sizes: watercolour studies about 4,900–5,900 px on the long edge. These are the full-size museum and library scans. Nothing is cropped or resized: each study is the museum's full flat scan of the sheet. Most are catalogued as unidentified fish; the names here are descriptive.
