About the Item

title: 1852 Botanical Lithograph of Atropa Belladonna (Deadly Nightshade) Description: This finely detailed 1852 botanical lithograph showcases 'Atropa belladonna', commonly known as Deadly Nightshade, an infamous plant with a long history in medicine, folklore, and toxicology. Comes in a light paper matting paper. The illustration beautifully captures the plant's large, ovate leaves, delicate purple bell-shaped flowers, and the characteristic black berries enclosed in green sepals. Known for its highly toxic alkaloids such as atropine and scopolamine, Belladonna has been historically used in traditional medicine, cosmetics, and even poisons. The engraving highlights the plant’s structure with remarkable precision, making it an exceptional piece for botanical enthusiasts, collectors, or those interested in historical medical illustrations. The lithograph is set against a cream-toned background, elegantly matted with a decorative border, enhancing its visual appeal. Condition: This lithograph is in good condition, with crisp detailing and well-preserved colors. There is minimal foxing, and the paper remains bright with only slight toning around the edges. The plate number "22" and the publication year "1852" are clearly visible, adding to its authenticity. Framing tips: To best display this botanical print, choose a gold or antique-style wood frame that complements its vintage aesthetic. Acid-free matting and UV-protective glass will help preserve the fine details and prevent fading. A wider mat border can enhance the elegance of the composition while keeping the artwork visually centered.
