About the Item
Title: 1897 Botanical Prints – Minor Convolvulus and Star Capsicum
Description:
This pair of original 1897 botanical prints features the minor convolvulus (*Convolvulus tricolor*) and star capsicum (*Solanum capsicastrum*). Published in *Favourite Flowers of Garden and Greenhouse*, these detailed illustrations showcase the beauty and precision of Victorian botanical artistry, blending scientific accuracy with timeless decorative appeal.
More details:
1. Minor convolvulus (Convolvulus tricolor)
- Common names: dwarf morning glory, bindweed
- Interesting fact: This charming plant produces vibrant blue, yellow, and white trumpet-shaped flowers that open during the day and close at night. Native to the Mediterranean, it is a popular choice for sunny gardens and borders.
2. Star capsicum (Solanum capsicastrum)
- Common names: Jerusalem cherry, winter cherry
- Interesting fact: Known for its small, round, bright red and orange berries, star capsicum is often used as an ornamental plant during the winter months. However, its berries are toxic if ingested, making it best suited for decorative purposes.
These botanical prints highlight the ornamental charm and unique features of these plants, offering a glimpse into the Victorian fascination with exotic and colorful flora. Perfect for collectors, enthusiasts, or vintage decor.
The minor convolvulus, also known as dwarf morning glory, is illustrated with trumpet-shaped blooms in vibrant blue and yellow, accented by lush green foliage and delicately twining stems. The fine botanical details, including seeds and floral anatomy, reflect the meticulous craftsmanship of 19th-century artists. The star capsicum print features slender stems and glossy green leaves adorned with small, round fruits in rich shades of red and orange, evoking the charm of ornamental pepper plants often grown in Victorian gardens.
Both prints are in excellent condition, with vivid colors and crisp lines preserved beautifully over more than a century. Ideal for framing and display, these works add a touch of vintage botanical elegance to any interior. Perfect for collectors of antique prints, gardeners, or lovers of historical decor, this pair celebrates the enduring beauty of flowering and fruit-bearing plants through masterful illustration.
