About the Item
Title: Rare Lithograph of Sharks and Skate from Pisces Scandinaviae Collection
Description:
This exquisite lithograph from the Pisces Scandinaviae series presents three fascinating marine species: Raja fullonica, Galeorhinus galeus, and Carcharias glaucus. The delicate yet precise illustration captures the unique anatomical features of each species with remarkable accuracy. The composition skillfully contrasts the elongated, streamlined form of the sharks with the wide, flat body of the skate, offering an intriguing visual balance.
Raja fullonica, commonly known as the shovelnose skate, is depicted with a graceful fan-like body and a long, pointed snout. Its intricate patterning and smooth texture are rendered with great care, reflecting the artist’s mastery of lithographic techniques. The Galeorhinus galeus, or school shark, is characterized by its sleek body and distinctive fin structure, emphasizing its agile and dynamic nature. Carcharias glaucus, often referred to as the blue shark, is presented with a soft gradient from dark to light along its body, creating a sense of movement and vitality.
This print exemplifies the intersection of scientific observation and artistic skill, showcasing the work of renowned naturalist illustrators W. v. Wright and C. Erdmann. Their meticulous approach to natural history illustration is evident in the precision and clarity of each fish’s anatomical details. The careful use of shading and contour lines adds depth and dimension, making each species appear almost lifelike.
The Pisces Scandinaviae series is celebrated for its dedication to accurately portraying the aquatic biodiversity of the Scandinavian region. This lithograph not only holds scientific value but also serves as a captivating piece of art that enriches any natural history collection. It reflects the passion for marine biology that characterized the period’s scientific endeavors, while also embodying the aesthetic appeal of classical zoological illustration.
Condition summary:

Framing tips:
Choose a frame that enhances the natural tones of the print, such as a light wooden or oak frame.
