"Mud Fish, Tumba Koli, from 'Drawings of Fishes from Malacca', c.1805-18" is a notable illustration by an anonymous artist, which forms part of a collection of natural history drawings originating from the early 19th century. The artwork is a detailed depiction of a mudfish, also known as Tumba Koli, a common name that may refer to various fish species adapted to life in muddy, low-oxygen environments. This particular drawing is one of several that were created during a period when Malacca, a historic city in Malaysia, was under British control following the Anglo-Dutch Treaty of 1824.

The illustration is significant for its contribution to the documentation of marine life in the Malacca region during a time when natural history was becoming a more rigorous and systematic field of study. The drawing is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail, which was typical of natural history illustrations of the period, as they were intended to aid scientists and scholars in the identification and classification of new species.

The collection 'Drawings of Fishes from Malacca' reflects the intersection of art and science, as well as the broader European interest in cataloging and understanding the biodiversity of colonial territories. Although the artist remains unknown, the work is an important artifact of colonial natural history and provides insight into the scientific and artistic practices of the time.

As an illustration that has survived from the early 1800s, "Mud Fish, Tumba Koli" is not only a piece of scientific record but also a work of art that offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the rich aquatic life of the Malacca region and the efforts of early naturalists to understand and depict the natural world.
