10 parts (paginated as 3) in 1 volume. Very rare, important and beautiful first edition, in Swedish, of the standard work on fish found in Scandinavian waters, with stunning plates by Wilhelm von Wright (1810-1887) and hand coloured with extraordinary beauty and subtlety following his drawings. The plates show about 70 varieties…, coloured with delicate shading and parts highlighted with gum arabic. The text is the work of 3 eminent Swedish zoologists Fries (1799-1831), Ekstrom (1781-1858) and Sundevall (1801-1875). The present copy includes all 63 plates, the complete main text and preliminaries and the complete text of the "Bihang". Somewhat browned, but otherwise in very good condition, with some water stains in the gutter margin of a few quires (not affecting the text or plates), 1 quire spotted and a few very minor marginal tears or restorations.
