179 Wilhelm von Wright & Magnus von Wright – Set of 6 Birds of Prey – Chromolithographs from Svenska Fåglar (19th Century)
This striking set of six original chromolithographs is taken from Svenska Fåglar ("Swedish Birds"), the foundational ornithological atlas created by the von Wright brothers in the 19th century. The plates depict various birds of prey native to Scandinavia, rendered with remarkable precision and vitality. Each raptor is shown in full profile perched on a rock or tree stump, with exceptional attention to plumage detail and posture, exemplifying the naturalistic elegance for which the von Wright brothers are celebrated. These prints were published in Stockholm by A. Börtzells, using high-quality chromolithographic techniques.
The von Wright brothers were among the most accomplished naturalist artists of 19th-century Scandinavia. Their chromolithographs are celebrated for their combination of anatomical precision and artistic refinement. Published by A. Börtzells in Stockholm, these prints form part of one of the most important ornithological works in Nordic history.
