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.

Spotted Dragonet, Montagu’s Sucker, Liparis, and Thicklip Grey Mullet - Stunning Scandinavian Fish Lithograph
This remarkable 19th-century lithograph from *Skandinaviens Fiskar* presents an impressive array of Scandinavian fish species, each meticulously rendered with vibrant hand coloring and intricate detailing. Created by Wilhelm von Wright, Thorman, Malm, and C. Erdmann, and published by P. A. Norstedt & Söners Förlag in Stockholm, this print is a testament to the scientific accuracy and artistic mastery that define this iconic natural history series.
At the top left, the Spotted Dragonet (Callionymus maculatus) displays its graceful and elaborate fins, adorned with striking yellow and black patterns that resemble a delicate tapestry. The intricate detailing of the pectoral and dorsal fins showcases Wright’s dedication to both beauty and precision. Known for its colorful display and unique shape, the Spotted Dragonet inhabits sandy or muddy bottoms in shallow coastal waters.
To the right, a group of Montagu’s Suckers (Cyclogaster montagui) are depicted, notable for their small size and rounded bodies with subtle mottled patterns. These bottom-dwelling fish use their ventral sucker to adhere to rocks and submerged objects, making them well-suited for life in intertidal zones and shallow waters. The soft shading and earthy tones give them a lifelike appearance, emphasizing their adaptability to the rugged coastal environment.
The larger fish depicted with bold markings are Liparis (Cyclopteridae), with their stout, rounded bodies and vivid dark patterns. These fish are known for their unique suction disc, which allows them to cling to stones and rocky surfaces. The contrast between their dark, mottled bodies and bright orange highlights on the fins reflects their distinctive appearance.
At the bottom of the plate lies the majestic Thicklip Grey Mullet (Mugil chelo), depicted with a silvery sheen and streamlined body that signifies its fast, agile swimming nature. The fine scaling and reflective quality of its body are captured with remarkable realism, emphasizing the mullet’s sleek and powerful presence. Often found in coastal estuaries and shallow bays, the Thicklip Grey Mullet is valued for both its athletic form and its role as a popular food fish...
