About the Item

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). Beautifully illustrated by Wilhelm von Wright and published by P. A. Norstedt & Söners Förlag in Stockholm, this plate is an exquisite example of both scientific accuracy and artistic craftsmanship. At the top, the Ide (Leuciscus idus) is depicted with its slender, torpedo-shaped body and metallic, silver-gray scales, giving it a sleek and dynamic appearance. The slight golden hue along the lateral line and the soft pinkish tint of the fins are meticulously rendered, capturing the fish’s natural vibrancy. The Ide is a resilient and adaptable species, inhabiting rivers and lakes throughout northern Europe. It is prized both as a food fish and a sporting catch due to its strength and agile movements. In the center, the Graining (Leuciscus grislagine) stands out with its slightly more streamlined form and a distinct yellowish-gold sheen that runs along its body. The detailing of each scale and the delicate shading of the fins highlight the subtle differences between this species and the Ide. Known for inhabiting clear, fast-flowing streams and rivers, the Graining is admired for its ability to thrive in well-oxygenated waters. At the bottom, the European Chub (Leuciscus cephalus) is distinguished by its broader body and darker, olive-toned back. The transition from dark, almost bluish-green along the dorsal surface to bright silvery flanks is executed with precision, emphasizing the robust and muscular form of this adaptable species. The Chub’s characteristic rounded head and prominent eyes are meticulously detailed, giving it a lifelike quality. Chubs are known for their omnivorous diet and ability to adapt to a wide range of freshwater habitats, from rivers to slow-moving streams. The lithographic technique employed here is truly masterful, combining precise line work with delicate hand coloring to produce vibrant and scientifically accurate representations. The soft transitions between shades and the naturalistic poses of each fish make this plate both educational and aesthetically pleasing. Condition: The print is in excellent condition, with vivid colors and crisp details maintained throughout the years. Framing tips: To best display its elegance and natural beauty, consider framing it with a simple dark wood frame and a neutral mat that complements the cool tones. This lithograph would make a fine addition to any natural history collection or a stylish focal point in a room with a natural or maritime theme.
