About the Item
Atlantic Cod, Haddock, Garfish, and Sand Eel - Diverse Scandinavian Fish Lithograph
This magnificent 19th-century lithograph from *Skandinaviens Fiskar* features an array of iconic Scandinavian fish species: the Atlantic Cod (Gadus callarias), Haddock (Gadus aeglefinus), Garfish (Rhamphistoma belone), and Sand Eel (Ammodytes lanceolatus). Illustrated with scientific accuracy and artistic finesse by Wilhelm von Wright and C. Erdmann, and published by P. A. Norstedt & Söners Förlag in Stockholm, this plate exemplifies the beauty and diversity of northern marine life.
At the top of the print, the Atlantic Cod (Gadus callarias) is depicted with its robust, elongated body and characteristic barbel under the chin. The soft olive-gray coloring and fine shading enhance the natural texture of its scales, while the darker lateral line adds contrast and definition. The finely detailed dorsal and anal fins reflect the cod’s powerful and agile swimming capabilities. As a cornerstone of Scandinavian and North Atlantic fisheries, the Atlantic Cod is celebrated for its culinary and commercial value.
Below the cod, the Haddock (Gadus aeglefinus) is shown with a slightly more streamlined body and a distinctive dark lateral line running from head to tail. The most recognizable feature is the black blotch above the pectoral fin, commonly known as the “Devil’s thumbprint.” The realistic hand coloring brings out the silvery, metallic sheen of the fish, and the subtle gradation of shades adds depth and realism to its form. Haddock are known for their delicate, flaky white meat and are among the most commercially significant fish in northern waters.
The third fish, the Garfish (Rhamphistoma belone), is depicted with its long, slender body and pointed, beak-like mouth. The striking blue-green tint along its back contrasts with the lighter underbelly, capturing the iridescent quality typical of this species. The streamlined form and elongated shape make it well-adapted to rapid swimming near the surface. Garfish are known for their unique green bones and are prized as both a food and a sport fish.
At the bottom of the plate lies the Sand Eel (Ammodytes lanceolatus), rendered with its narrow, eel-like body and small, pointed head. The fine line work and pale, sandy coloration reflect its ability to burrow into sandy substrates for protection. Sand Eels play a crucial role in the marine food chain, serving as prey for larger fish and seabirds.
The lithographic technique used in this print masterfully combines precise line work with subtle hand coloring, creating lifelike and scientifically accurate depictions. The harmonious blend of form and color reflects the dedication of Wilhelm von Wright and C. Erdmann to both natural history and aesthetic presentation.
Condition: The print is in good condition, with vivid colors and crisp details well preserved.
Framing tips: To emphasize its artistic and scientific appeal, consider framing it with a classic dark wood frame and a neutral mat to draw attention to the natural hues and fine details. This lithograph would make an excellent addition to any natural history collection or coastal-themed interior, celebrating the diversity and elegance of Scandinavian marine life.
