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. Datura sanguinea - Common names: angel’s trumpet, yellow datura - Interesting fact: Native to South America, this plant is admired for its striking, pendulous trumpet-shaped blooms in orange-yellow hues. Though stunning, all parts of the plant are highly toxic and have been historically associated with both ornamental and medicinal uses. 2. Hybrid petunias (Petunia hybrida) - Common names: garden petunias - Interesting fact: A Victorian garden staple, hybrid petunias offer a spectacular variety of colors and patterns, from vibrant solids to delicate stripes and spots. Their long blooming season makes them a favorite for hanging baskets, borders, and bedding. These botanical prints capture the elegance and vivid beauty of these iconic flowering plants, showcasing their rich history and decorative appeal. Perfect for collectors, gardeners, or those looking to add vintage charm to their space. 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.
