About the Item

A Collection of Botanical Watercolours: Drawings of British Plants Emily Stackhouse (1811-1870) perfectly illustrates the Victorian fascination with the countryside in this remarkable collection. The Stackhouse collection has, for many years, been the subject of extensive research by Clifford Evans, whose article “Forgotten Field” (Country Life, July 6, 1995), fully documents the contemporary confusion associated with the authorship of the illustrations in the highly regarded books Forest Trees of Britain (1847–49), A Week at the Lizard (1848) and Flowers of the Field (1851) by the Reverend Charles Johns.

Fine Antique British Botannical Watercolour Painting, circa 1900's
Located in Cirencester, Gloucestershire
A very fine original antique English botanical watercolour painting depicting this beautiful depiction of a flower/ plant. The work came to us from a private collection in Surrey, England and had been part of an album of works assembled by the artist during the early 1900's. During the Victorian and Edwardian era in Britain, it was very fashionable for ladies of aristocratic and wealthy backgrounds to draw and paint still lifes of flowers and plants that they had picked or seen in gardens.
