This is a vintage illustration of a fountain aquarium. The aquarium is shaped like a wide, shallow bowl with angled glass sides, resting atop an ornate, classical-style pedestal. A small fountain shoots water upwards from the center of the aquarium. Inside the aquarium, there are several fish swimming among rocks, coral, and aquatic plants. The pedestal is decorated with intricate carvings and scrollwork. The image is rendered in a detailed, engraved style, typical of 19th-century illustrations. Below the image, the text reads 'THE FOUNTAIN AQUARIUM.'
