Title: Scandinavian Fishes: Grayling and Whitefish in Exquisite Lithographic Detail
Description: This captivating lithograph from the Pisces Scandinaviae series beautifully illustrates four iconic Scandinavian fish species. Created by W. v. Wright, it showcases a fine blend of scientific accuracy and artistic finesse. The precise lithographic technique, enhanced by meticulous hand-coloring, results in lifelike depictions that capture the essence of each species.
The first fish shown is the Thymallus vulgaris, commonly known as the grayling. Its distinctive high dorsal fin, adorned with iridescent hues of green and red, stands out elegantly against its sleek, silver-toned body. Grayling are known for their graceful movements and are often found in clear, fast-flowing rivers. The detailed rendering of the fin and scales brings a sense of vitality to the composition.
Next is Coregonus albula, commonly called the vendace, a smaller fish with a slender body and a shiny, silver appearance. Vendace are renowned for their delicate flavor and are a staple of Scandinavian freshwater fisheries. The lithograph accurately portrays the subtle variations in shading and the delicate fins, emphasizing its delicate yet streamlined form.
The third and fourth fishes are the Coregonus lavaretus, or whitefish, known for their robust bodies and silvery, shimmering scales. These fish are highly valued for their mild flavor and are typically found in colder lakes and rivers. The artist has masterfully highlighted the subtle differences between the two specimens, with attention to scale pattern and fin positioning, adding depth and realism to the artwork.
This print is not only scientifically valuable but also visually captivating. Its detailed depiction of fish anatomy, combined with accurate color application, reflects the artistic dedication of the period. The harmonious arrangement of species and the balanced use of light and shadow enhance the natural appeal of each fish, making it an exemplary piece of natural history illustration.
Condition summary:
The print is in excellent condition with minimal toning and bright, vivid colors. A few light age spots are present but do not detract from the overall aesthetic appeal.
Framing tips:
Choose a simple wooden frame with a natural or lightly stained finish to complement the earthy tones of the fish. A cream or light-colored mat will add contrast and draw the eye to the intricate details. For long-lasting preservation, consider UV-resistant glass to protect against fading.

Scandinavian Asp and Bleak - Exquisite 19th-Century Lithograph
Located in Langweer, NL
Scandinavian Asp and Bleak - Exquisite 19th-Century Lithograph, 1895
This stunning lithograph from *Skandinaviens Fiskar* beautifully illustrates three freshwater fish species native to Scandinavia: the Asp (Aspius rapax) and the Bleak (Alburnus lucidus). Created by the talented artist Wilhelm von Wright and published by P. A. Norstedt & Söners Förlag in Stockholm, this plate masterfully combines scientific precision with artistic elegance.
The uppermost fish is the Bleak (Alburnus lucidus), characterized by its slender, streamlined body and shimmering silver scales. Known for its agile swimming and vibrant appearance, the Bleak is commonly found in rivers and lakes throughout northern Europe.
The central and lower fish are the Asp (Aspius rapax), displaying a more robust, muscular build with a distinct silvery-gray hue. The artist's meticulous attention to detail highlights the Asp's powerful fins and sleek body, showcasing its predatory nature. Asp are known for their speed and strength, often inhabiting fast-flowing waters and open lakes.
This hand-colored lithograph reflects the masterful craftsmanship of von Wright, who captured the essence of these Scandinavian fish with remarkable accuracy and aesthetic appeal. The subtle hand coloring brings the illustration to life, emphasizing the fish's natural hues and delicate textures.
Condition: The print remains in very good condition, with vibrant colors and sharp detailing. It would make a striking addition to any collection of natural history art or as a unique decorative piece in a study or living space.
Framing tips: Choose a wooden or metal frame in neutral tones like natural wood, black, or dark brown. Use a light cream or off-white mat, about 2-4 inches wide, and ensure it is acid-free for preservation. Opt for UV-protective, non-reflective glass or acrylic. Use acid-free backing boards and hinge mounting to secure the print without damage. Keep the frame sealed...
