Flounder and Plaice - Vibrant Scandinavian Flatfish Lithograph
This captivating 19th-century lithograph from *Skandinaviens Fiskar* features two iconic Scandinavian flatfish species: the European Flounder (Pleuronectes flesus) and the European Plaice (Pleuronectes platessa). Illustrated by Wilhelm von Wright and published by P. A. Norstedt & Söners Förlag in Stockholm, this print showcases the exceptional combination of scientific accuracy and artistic mastery that characterizes this celebrated natural history series.
At the top of the print, the European Flounder (Pleuronectes flesus) is portrayed with its distinctive oval shape and rough, bumpy texture. The fish’s earthy greenish-brown coloration is accentuated by darker mottled spots, giving it a realistic and lifelike appearance. The fine lithographic technique used to capture the texture and patterns on the scales showcases the natural camouflage abilities of the Flounder, allowing it to blend seamlessly into sandy or muddy seabeds. Known for its resilience and adaptability, the Flounder is a common inhabitant of shallow coastal waters and estuaries throughout Scandinavia.
Below the Flounder lies the European Plaice (Pleuronectes platessa), instantly recognizable by its reddish-orange spots scattered across a darker brown body. The smooth, sleek texture and gently curved fin structure give it a graceful and streamlined appearance. The contrasting red and brown hues make the Plaice a visually appealing and scientifically accurate depiction, reflecting its natural coloring when observed in its habitat. Widely regarded as a prized catch for both commercial and recreational fisheries, the Plaice is valued for its delicate flavor and attractive appearance.
The lithographic technique employed in this print masterfully combines detailed line work with hand coloring to create a lifelike representation. The combination of vibrant colors and realistic textures highlights both the aesthetic appeal and the scientific documentation of these fish. Wilhelm von Wright’s dedication to accuracy and artistic expression makes this lithograph an invaluable piece for collectors and natural history enthusiasts alike.
Condition: The print is preserved in good condition, with vivid colors and sharp details maintained over the years.
Framing tips: To enhance its visual charm, consider framing it with a classic frame and a neutral mat that complements the earthy tones and highlights the vibrant red spots of the Plaice. This piece is an ideal addition to any natural history collection or coastal-themed interior, celebrating the beauty and diversity of Scandinavian marine life.
