About the Item
Esmark's Cod and Grenadier Fish - Rare and Striking Scandinavian Lithograph
This captivating 19th-century lithograph from *Skandinaviens Fiskar* features two remarkable fish species from Scandinavian waters: Esmark's Cod (Gadus esmarkii) and the Rock Grenadier (Macrurus rupestris). Created by C. Erdmann and published by P. A. Norstedt & Söners Förlag in Stockholm, this plate showcases the meticulous artistry and scientific accuracy characteristic of this iconic natural history series.
At the top of the print, Esmark's Cod (Gadus esmarkii) is depicted with a sleek, elongated body and a graceful curve along its lateral line. The subtle gradient from a light silvery underbelly to a muted olive-gray back is rendered with remarkable precision, capturing the natural iridescence of its scales. The large, round eye and distinct chin barbel are characteristic features of this lesser-known cod species, found primarily in the colder waters of the North Atlantic. The lifelike rendering emphasizes both the scientific importance and visual appeal of this rare species.
At the bottom, the Rock Grenadier (Macrurus rupestris) is depicted with its characteristic long, tapering body and distinctive pointed tail. The smooth, scaled texture and subtle shading capture its unique appearance, with darker dorsal and pectoral fins contrasting against the pale body. The large head and rounded eyes, along with the curved lateral line, give it a somewhat prehistoric and exotic look. Known for inhabiting deep-sea environments, the Rock Grenadier is an enigmatic species often found at depths exceeding 1,000 meters.
The lithographic technique used in this plate showcases meticulous line work and fine hand coloring, creating a lifelike and scientifically accurate representation of these unique fish. The precise shading and natural hues reflect the dedication of C. Erdmann to both artistic quality and scientific documentation.
Condition report: The print is preserved in excellent condition, with vivid colors and sharp details well maintained over time.
Framing tips: To emphasize the lithograph's refined aesthetic, consider framing it with a classic dark wood frame and a neutral or light mat, enhancing the natural colors and fine line work. This lithograph is a rare and valuable addition to any natural history collection or maritime-themed interior, celebrating the rich diversity of Scandinavian marine life.
