About the Item

Female Tufted Duck – Nyroca Fuligula – Swedish Bird Print after von Wright, 1929 This finely printed ornithological plate from 1929 depicts the female tufted duck, scientifically noted as 'Nyroca Fuligula' (now classified as Aythya fuligula). The print shows the bird perched on a coastal rock beside calm waters, rendered in naturalistic tones of soft brown, grey, and black. With its compact body, rounded head, and striking golden eye, the female tufted duck is shown in a lifelike posture, embodying the quiet elegance of this common diving duck found across northern and central Europe. This image is a high-quality 1929 lithographic reproduction based on the 19th-century original drawings by the Finnish-Swedish artist and naturalist Magnus von Wright. It was published as part of a reissue of the landmark ornithological work Svenska Foglar efter Naturen och på Stentryck utgifna ("Swedish Birds Drawn from Nature and Lithographed"), originally produced between 1828 and 1838. The 1929 edition was printed in Sweden by A.-B. Centraltryckeriet, Stockholm, known for its precision in fine color lithography and faithful reproductions of earlier natural history plates. Von Wright’s original illustrations were celebrated for their combination of scientific accuracy and artistic sensitivity, qualities that are carefully preserved in this 20th-century edition. The image retains the clarity and delicate balance of the original composition, offering a beautiful example of Scandinavian ornithological art. Condition: Very good condition. The sheet is clean with a light cream tone and no foxing or damage. Image detail is crisp, and colors remain strong. Printed caption and publisher's imprint are clearly visible below the image. Framing tips: This piece would look refined in a simple black, dark walnut, or matte oak frame with a cream or pale grey mat. It pairs well with other natural history prints, especially those in neutral tones, and is ideal for display in studies, libraries, or Scandinavian-inspired interiors.
