About the Item

Title: Rare Lithograph of Thorny Skate from Pisces Scandinaviae Collection Description: This remarkable lithograph from the Pisces Scandinaviae series features the thorny skate, scientifically known as Raja oxyrhynchus. The species is depicted in exquisite detail, highlighting both dorsal and ventral views. The thorny skate is recognized by its characteristic elongated snout, thorny ridges, and distinctive pattern of dark spots against a pale, sandy background. The careful illustration captures the graceful, almost ethereal appearance of this fascinating species. Created by C. Erdmann, the lithographic technique showcases the artist’s mastery of capturing the nuanced textures and delicate gradients of the skate's skin. The subtle tonal transitions between the darker and lighter areas emphasize the intricate anatomy and unique patterns of the species. The meticulous attention to detail in the depiction of the thorny ridges and the refined linework add to the print’s authenticity and appeal. The Pisces Scandinaviae series, renowned for its scientifically accurate representations of Scandinavian marine life, remains an invaluable source for ichthyologists and collectors alike. Each plate within this collection is a blend of artistic finesse and zoological precision, making it highly sought after by collectors of natural history prints. This particular plate exemplifies the commitment to scientific accuracy while also celebrating the aesthetic beauty of marine life. Condition summary: The lithograph is in excellent condition, with vibrant tones and no signs of damage or foxing. The paper remains clean and well-preserved, showcasing the quality of the original production. Framing tips: To enhance the print's visual appeal, opt for a light-colored wooden or oak frame that complements the sandy hues of the skate. A neutral cream or light tan mat will elegantly frame the composition, while museum-quality glass with UV protection will safeguard the print from light exposure and fading. Displaying the framed piece in a well-lit room will accentuate the fine details and naturalistic quality of the lithograph.
