About the Item
Greenland Cod, Pout, and Poor Cod - Intricate Scandinavian Fish Lithograph
This remarkable 19th-century lithograph from Skandinaviens Fiskar features three Scandinavian fish species of the cod family: the Greenland Cod (Gadus ogac), the Pout (Gadus luscus), and the Poor Cod (Gadus gracilis). Illustrated with precision by C. Erdmann and published by P. A. Norstedt & Söners Förlag in Stockholm, this plate is an outstanding example of the dedication to both scientific accuracy and artistic finesse that characterizes this celebrated natural history series.
At the top of the plate, the Greenland Cod (Gadus ogac) is depicted with its robust and elongated body, smooth texture, and distinctive chin barbel. The fine shading and careful line work capture the subtle contours of the fish’s muscular build, reflecting its ability to thrive in the cold waters of the North Atlantic and Arctic regions. Known for its hardy nature and commercial value, the Greenland Cod is an important species in northern fishing industries.
In the center lies the Pout (Gadus luscus), a slightly stouter fish with a pronounced head and large, rounded eyes. Its deeper body and shorter profile contrast noticeably with the elongated form of the Greenland Cod. The finely detailed dorsal and pectoral fins, along with the subtle texturing on the scales, make this an anatomically precise and lifelike representation. Pouts are commonly found in the colder waters of the North Sea and are recognized for their thick, compact bodies.
At the bottom of the print is the Poor Cod (Gadus gracilis), depicted with a slender and more streamlined body compared to the other two species. The soft shading and smooth line work emphasize its lighter and more delicate build, distinguishing it from the bulkier codfish. Poor Cod are known for inhabiting deeper waters and are often caught as bycatch in trawl fisheries. Their graceful, less muscular shape is well captured in this artistic rendering.
The monochromatic lithographic technique utilized in this plate highlights the subtle anatomical differences between the three species, emphasizing form and structure over color. The use of precise shading and line work conveys a sense of depth and volume, demonstrating the artistic skill and scientific dedication of C. Erdmann.
Condition: The print remains in very good condition, with clear and crisp lines that retain their integrity over time.
Framing Tips: To enhance its historical and scientific value, consider framing this monochrome lithograph with a dark, simple frame and a crisp white mat, emphasizing the finely drawn details and classic aesthetic. This lithograph is an essential addition to any natural history collection or maritime-themed interior, showcasing the diversity and adaptation of Scandinavian cod species.
