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...
