This is a vintage x-ray photograph featuring three fish skeletons against a stark black background. The fish are depicted in profile, showcasing their internal bone structure with remarkable clarity. The top fish is elongated and slender, while the two below are more rounded and typical of goldfish. The skeletal details, including the spine, ribs, and fin rays, are visible, creating a ghostly, ethereal effect. The image is labeled in German at the bottom, identifying the subjects as 'Zwei Goldfische und ein Seefisch [Christiceps argentatus]' (Two goldfish and a sea fish). The image has a historical, scientific quality, reminiscent of early experiments with x-ray technology.
