Original source Image description: Alt text: A small black-and-white woodcut illustration of an artificial mermaid, probably Japanese, depicting a creature with the head and upper body of a small monkey covered in thin, untidy wool, attached to the dried skin of a fish resembling a salmon, complete with fins and a tail. The mermaid stands on a base, holding a small object near its chin, with fish-like scales covering the lower body and exaggerated features. The text describes the mermaid’s construction and its use by showmen like Mr. Barnum for public exhibition in the 19th century.
