THE RED MULLET, NORWAY HADDOCK, GREAT WEEVER print (Mullus barbatus, Sebastes marinus, Trachinus draco)

This rare and exceptional lithographic plate of a red mullet, norway haddock & great weever, is from the revised and enlarged second edition of “ A History of Scandinavian Fishes” by Fries, Ekström and Sundevall.

The work was completed by Professor F. A. Smitt and published in Stockholm and London in 1893. “

With the most accurate drawings…it gained a world-wide reputation as one of the best productions of its kind.”
