Spotted Dragonet, Montagu’s Sucker, Liparis, and Thicklip Grey Mullet - Stunning Scandinavian Fish Lithograph This remarkable 19th-century lithograph from *Skandinaviens Fiskar* presents an impressive array of Scandinavian fish species, each meticulously rendered with vibrant hand coloring and intricate detailing. Created by Wilhelm von Wright, Thorman, Malm, and C. Erdmann, and published by P. A. Norstedt & Söners Förlag in Stockholm, this print is a testament to the scientific accuracy and artistic mastery that define this iconic natural history series. At the top left, the Spotted Dragonet (Callionymus maculatus) displays its graceful and elaborate fins, adorned with striking yellow and black patterns that resemble a delicate tapestry. The intricate detailing of the pectoral and dorsal fins showcases Wright’s dedication to both beauty and precision. Known for its colorful display and unique shape, the Spotted Dragonet inhabits sandy or muddy bottoms in shallow coastal waters. To the right, a group of Montagu’s Suckers (Cyclogaster montagui) are depicted, notable for their small size and rounded bodies with subtle mottled patterns. These bottom-dwelling fish use their ventral sucker to adhere to rocks and submerged objects, making them well-suited for life in intertidal zones and shallow waters. The soft shading and earthy tones give them a lifelike appearance, emphasizing their adaptability to the rugged coastal environment. The larger fish depicted with bold markings are Liparis (Cyclopteridae), with their stout, rounded bodies and vivid dark patterns. These fish are known for their unique suction disc, which allows them to cling to stones and rocky surfaces. The contrast between their dark, mottled bodies and bright orange highlights on the fins reflects their distinctive appearance. At the bottom of the plate lies the majestic Thicklip Grey Mullet (Mugil chelo), depicted with a silvery sheen and streamlined body that signifies its fast, agile swimming nature. The fine scaling and reflective quality of its body are captured with remarkable realism, emphasizing the mullet’s sleek and powerful presence. Often found in coastal estuaries and shallow bays, the Thicklip Grey Mullet is valued for both its athletic form and its role as a popular food fish...

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. Framing tips: Choose a wooden or metal frame in neutral tones like natural wood, black, or dark brown. Use a light cream or off-white mat, about 2-4 inches wide, and ensure it is acid-free for preservation. Opt for UV-protective, non-reflective glass or acrylic. Use acid-free backing boards and hinge mounting to secure the print without damage. Keep the frame sealed...

Burbot, Ling and Blue Ling - Unique Scandinavian Eel-like Fish Lithograph This stunning 19th-century lithograph from *Skandinaviens Fiskar* features three captivating eel-like fish species from Scandinavian waters: the Burbot (Lota lota), the Ling (Molva molva), and the Blue Ling (Molva dypterygia). Illustrated with scientific accuracy and artistic mastery by Wilhelm von Wright and C. Erdmann, and published by P. A. Norstedt & Söners Förlag in Stockholm, this plate beautifully captures the sinuous elegance and distinct characteristics of these elongated fish. At the top of the print, the Burbot (Lota lota) is depicted with its characteristic serpentine body and ornate mottling of dark brown and yellow patterns. The texture of the fish’s smooth, slippery skin is masterfully rendered, capturing its natural sheen and vibrant hues. A distinct chin barbel gives the Burbot an almost catfish-like appearance. Known as the only freshwater member of the cod family, Burbots inhabit cold rivers and lakes throughout Scandinavia. They are particularly valued for their firm, flavorful flesh and are often sought by ice fishermen during winter months. In the center of the composition lies the Ling (Molva molva), a long and robust fish with a subtly tapering body and prominent lateral line. The brownish-yellow coloration is interspersed with irregular light patches, giving it a marbled appearance. The graceful curvature of the body and the pronounced fins highlight its elongated form. Ling are known for their deep-sea habitats and are prized as a food fish...
