About the Item
Bream and White Bream - Scandinavian Freshwater Elegance
This exquisite 19th-century lithograph from *Skandinaviens Fiskar* features two iconic freshwater fish species: the White Bream (Abramis ballerus) and the Common Bream (Abramis brama). Illustrated by Wilhelm von Wright and published by P. A. Norstedt & Söners Förlag in Stockholm, this plate is a striking combination of scientific accuracy and artistic finesse.
The upper fish on the plate is the White Bream (Abramis ballerus), recognizable by its elongated body and slender profile. Its silvery scales shimmer with subtle reflections, beautifully rendered through precise lithographic techniques. The delicate detailing of each scale and the graceful curves of the body give it a lifelike appearance. The White Bream is typically found in slow-moving rivers and lakes throughout northern Europe, where it thrives in calm and moderately deep waters. Its slightly upturned mouth and pointed snout distinguish it from the more robust Common Bream.
The lower fish, the Common Bream (Abramis brama), exhibits a more rounded and deeper body shape. The coloration is notably darker, with shades transitioning from bronze to olive-green on the back, while the sides maintain a subtle silvery luster. The convex dorsal profile and the robust build make this fish a quintessential representative of European freshwater habitats. The Common Bream is known for its schooling behavior and preference for silty or muddy substrates.
The artistic technique used in this lithograph is truly remarkable, employing fine line engraving combined with hand coloring. The careful shading and color transitions not only enhance the lifelike quality but also emphasize the unique features of each species. Wilhelm von Wright’s skillful rendering of the reflective scales and the nuanced hues of the fins showcase his dedication to both scientific detail and artistic beauty.
Condition: This print is exceptionally well preserved, with vivid colors and sharp detailing intact.
Framing advice: It would be best presented in a simple dark wood or gilded frame with a neutral mat to emphasize the natural tones and the graceful form of these freshwater fish. Perfect for collectors and enthusiasts of natural history, this lithograph will add a touch of classical elegance to any space.

Dace and Chub - Graceful Scandinavian Freshwater Fish Lithograph
This elegant 19th-century lithograph from *Skandinaviens Fiskar* features three iconic freshwater fish species of Scandinavia: the Ide (Leuciscus idus), the Graining (Leuciscus grislagine), and the European Chub (Leuciscus cephalus).
