This extraordinary 19th-century lithograph from *Skandinaviens Fiskar* showcases a fascinating mix of unique and lesser-known Scandinavian fish species: the Viviparous Blenny (Onos cimbrius), Greater Weever (Onos mustela), and the striking Ocean Sunfish (Orthagoriscus mola). Illustrated by C. Erdmann and Wilhelm von Wright, and published by P. A. Norstedt & Söners Förlag in Stockholm, this plate exemplifies the blend of scientific precision and artistic finesse that defines this celebrated natural history series.
The lithographic technique used in this plate merges meticulous line work with vibrant hand coloring, creating a vivid and scientifically accurate portrayal of each species. The contrast between the elongated, streamlined fish and the robust, disk-like Sunfish highlights the diversity of Scandinavian marine life.
Condition summary: The print is preserved in good condition, with vibrant colors and crisp details that remain well preserved over time.
