Set of 2 Decorative Antique Cactus Prints, circa 1910
About the Item
The antique cactus prints, titled 'Echinocactus Fordii Orcutt' and 'Echinocactus Mathssonii Berge,' are part of the work 'Blühende Kakteen' (Flowering Cacti) authored by Karl Schumann and Max Gürke and published between 1900 and 1905.
1. **'Echinocactus Fordii Orcutt':** This print showcases the Echinocactus Fordii, a species of barrel cactus. It displays the plant's characteristic spherical shape and spiny ribs, capturing the intricate details of its structure and possibly any blooming flowers or fruit it bears.
2. **'Echinocactus Mathssonii Berge':** This print features the Echinocactus Mathssonii, another species of barrel cactus. It portrays its unique features, such as the arrangement of spines or the appearance of its flowers or fruits.
'Blühende Kakteen' is known for its beautiful illustrations of various cactus species, presenting detailed and scientifically accurate depictions of these plants. The prints from this work were often meticulously hand-colored, emphasizing the unique characteristics and aesthetics of each cactus species.
As antique botanical prints, these illustrations serve not only as decorative pieces but also as historical and educational references, showcasing the diversity and beauty of cacti and contributing to the documentation of botanical knowledge during the early 20th century.
