About the Item

Title: 1897 Antique Botanical Prints – Bellflowers and Lobelias Trio These two original 1897 botanical prints feature the cardinal flower (Lobelia cardinalis) and Wilmore's heath (Erica wilmoreana), celebrated for their striking red blossoms and intricate botanical details. Published in 'Favourite Flowers of Garden and Greenhouse', these plates highlight the artistry and precision of Victorian botanical illustration, reflecting both scientific inquiry and aesthetic beauty. The cardinal flower stands out with its brilliant scarlet petals and tall, elegant stems, a favorite among gardeners and nature enthusiasts for its vibrant color and graceful form. In contrast, Wilmore's heath showcases clusters of small tubular crimson flowers nestled within dense green foliage, a hallmark of the heather family. The finely rendered floral components, including close-up views of petals and reproductive structures, demonstrate the meticulous attention to detail typical of botanical prints from this period. Both plates are in excellent condition, with vivid colors and sharp details preserved despite their age. These prints are perfect for framing and display, ideal for adding a touch of Victorian elegance to any room. Whether for collectors of antique botanical art, garden enthusiasts, or those seeking vintage decor, these works capture the timeless beauty of nature and bring a rich historical charm to your home or office.
