About the Item

Silver Breams and Vimba - Scandinavian Freshwater Beauties This beautiful 19th-century lithograph from *Skandinaviens Fiskar* features three iconic freshwater fish species: the Ide (Leuciscus idus), the Silver Bream (Abramis blicca), and the Vimba Bream (Leucaspius vimba). Illustrated by Wilhelm von Wright and published by P. A. Norstedt & Söners Förlag in Stockholm, this plate perfectly captures the elegance and natural beauty of Scandinavian fish. The uppermost fish is the juvenile Ide (Leuciscus idus), displaying a sleek, elongated body with a metallic silver sheen. The precision in the rendering of its scales, along with the fine detailing of the fins, highlights the skill of the artist. The Ide is commonly found in northern European rivers and lakes, preferring slow-moving or still waters. Known for its strength and resilience, it is a favored catch among anglers. The central fish on the plate is the Silver Bream (Abramis blicca), a species distinguished by its deeper body and slightly convex dorsal profile. Its characteristic silvery coloration and fine scale pattern are meticulously depicted, conveying a sense of depth and volume. This species thrives in lakes and slow rivers, often schooling with other cyprinid species. At the bottom of the plate is the Vimba Bream (Leucaspius vimba), easily recognizable by its streamlined, slender body and distinctly pointed head. The pale, silvery-white hue and smooth texture give it a graceful and almost ethereal appearance. Vimba Breams are known for their migratory behavior and often travel in large schools during spawning seasons. This lithograph showcases the artistry of Wilhelm von Wright, combining scientific accuracy with aesthetic appeal. The subtle hand coloring enhances the natural tones of each fish, emphasizing their individual characteristics while maintaining a consistent style. The precision and craftsmanship evident in this plate make it an exceptional piece for collectors and enthusiasts alike. Condition: The print is in excellent condition, with bright colors and crisp lines. Framing tips: To showcase its natural elegance, it would be best displayed in a simple, understated frame with a neutral mat. Ideal for adding a touch of classic natural history to any space.
