Von Wright Brothers
The Von Wright brothers were five Finnish brothers, of whom three were noted artists: Magnus von Wright (1805-1868), Wilhelm von Wright (1810-1887) and Ferdinand von Wright (1822-1906). These ornithologists, scientists, illustrators of natural history, and artists were born in Haminalahti near Kuopio in Finland. Magnus and Wilhelm von Wright began the illustrative work Svenska Foglar ("Swedish Birds") in August 1828. The work was financed by Count Nils Bonde. The work was completed in 1838 and contains 178 lithographs.
The von Wright family is a Swedish-Finnish noble family founded by the Scot George Wright, who emigrated from Dundee to Narva in Estonia ruled by Sweden, in the mid-17th century. Wright’s grandchildren (and their descendants) from his son Henrik would have acquired the noble title von Wright.
