Scandinavian Asp and Bleak - Exquisite 19th-Century Lithograph, 1895 This stunning lithograph from 'Skandinaviens Fiskar' beautifully illustrates three freshwater fish species native to Scandinavia: the Asp (Aspius rapax) and the Bleak (Alburnus lucidus). Created by the talented artist Wilhelm von Wright and published by P. A. Norstedt & Söners Förlag in Stockholm, this plate masterfully combines scientific precision with artistic elegance. The uppermost fish is the Bleak (Alburnus lucidus), characterized by its slender, streamlined body and shimmering silver scales. Known for its agile swimming and vibrant appearance, the Bleak is commonly found in rivers and lakes throughout northern Europe. The central and lower fish are the Asp (Aspius rapax), displaying a more robust, muscular build with a distinct silvery-gray hue. The artist's meticulous attention to detail highlights the Asp's powerful fins and sleek body, showcasing its predatory nature. Asp are known for their speed and strength, often inhabiting fast-flowing waters and open lakes. This hand-colored lithograph reflects the masterful craftsmanship of von Wright, who captured the essence of these Scandinavian fish with remarkable accuracy and aesthetic appeal. The subtle hand coloring brings the illustration to life, emphasizing the fish's natural hues and delicate textures. Condition: The print remains in very good condition, with vibrant colors and sharp detailing. It would make a striking addition to any collection of natural history art or as a unique decorative piece in a study or living space.
