It is indeed a Jenny Haniver, with fake eyes added to make it look even stranger.

Obviously more folklore than fact, as no human, however successful at swimming he may be, has ever developed gills, lol, but well worth having on file nonetheless, so thanks again for this, and I'm glad that you enjoyed my article.Dr Karl Shukerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222845702628862829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739684561063978507.post-55529337176616802062015-08-22T13:39:13.778+01:002015-08-22T13:39:13.778+01:00New URL for original translation page: hereNew URL for original translation page: <a href="https://myweb.rollins.edu/aboguslawski/Lubok/lubnews.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>Moohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06442248305329813018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739684561063978507.post-16728065167881732792015-08-22T11:44:58.877+01:002015-08-22T11:44:58.877+01:00Dear Dr. Shuker
Very interesting article.
The case...Dear Dr. Shuker<br />Very interesting article.<br />The case reminds me alot of the Spanish mer-man from Liérganes (Link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fish-man ). Of course the description is very different, but the account could have been very distorted through translations until it reached Russia and the woodcut has been made 18 years after the most famous write-up of the incident in Liérganes.<br />Looking forward to an update on this case.<br />Regards<br />Typhon.
