About the Item
Red Mullet, Norway Redfish, and Greater Weever - Vibrant 19th Century Fish Lithograph
This exquisite 19th-century lithograph from *Skandinaviens Fiskar* captures three striking Scandinavian fish species in vivid detail: the Red Mullet (Mullus barbatus), the Norway Redfish (Sebastes marinus), and the Greater Weever (Trachinus draco). Renowned for its meticulous hand coloring and precise lithographic technique, this print exemplifies the mastery of natural history illustration by Wilhelm von Wright and C. Erdmann.
The Red Mullet, positioned at the top, is delicately rendered with its characteristic golden stripes and pale pink body. Its smooth, elongated shape and gently arching dorsal fin are captured with remarkable elegance. Known for its vibrant colors and flavorful flesh, the Red Mullet is a prized catch in Scandinavian waters and an iconic species of northern Europe.
In the center of the composition lies the Norway Redfish, an imposing figure with a robust, spiny body and vivid red hue. Its pronounced eyes and sharply pointed dorsal spines give it a formidable appearance, while the fine detailing of its scales and vibrant coloring demonstrate the precision of Wright’s hand coloring. The Norway Redfish is a deep-sea species often found in the colder waters of the North Atlantic, known for its distinct bright red and orange shades.
At the bottom is the Greater Weever, depicted in a dramatic, almost serpentine pose. Its elongated body is covered with a pattern of dark, interwoven stripes that emphasize its streamlined form. The bold spiny dorsal fin, a distinctive feature of the species, is rendered with exceptional clarity. Known for its venomous spines, the Greater Weever is both feared and respected by fishermen and beachgoers alike.
The collaboration between artists Wilhelm von Wright and C. Erdmann, under the guidance of naturalist F. A. Smitt and published by P. A. Norstedt & Söners Förlag in Stockholm, aimed to document the aquatic diversity of Scandinavia with unparalleled scientific accuracy and artistic flair. The combination of precise lithography and vibrant hand coloring gives each fish a lifelike presence, celebrating the rich biodiversity of Scandinavian waters.
