Antique Hand-Colored Fern Prints - Aspidium Acrostichoides, Cristatum, Rigidum
Located in Langweer, NL
Antique Hand-Colored Fern Prints - Aspidium Acrostichoides, Cristatum, and Rigidum - 19th Century Botanical Art
This beautiful set of three antique hand-colored fern prints showcases the intricate detailing of three distinct species from the *Aspidium* genus. These prints are part of *Ferns: British and Exotic*, a classic 19th-century botanical publication known for its exceptional accuracy and artistic appeal.
The species depicted in this set include:
- **Aspidium acrostichoides** (Christmas Fern): This species is characterized by its dense, evergreen fronds, depicted with great attention to texture and spore-bearing sori. This fern is one of the most well-known in Victorian botanical studies.
- **Aspidium cristatum** (Crested Shield Fern): With its delicate fronds and clusters of round sori, the Crested Shield Fern is expertly illustrated to show its botanical structure and intricate design.
- **Aspidium rigidum** (Rigid Fern): This print highlights the structure of the fern’s stiff fronds, showing the distinctive brownish spore clusters that set this species apart. It captures the fern’s upright posture, making it a fine addition to any botanical collection.
These prints were originally published in *E.J. Lowe’s* celebrated *Ferns: British and Exotic*, which was produced between 1856 and 1860. Lowe, a renowned Victorian botanist, provided both scientific insight and aesthetic beauty through these illustrations, created using the chromolithographic printing technique. This method allowed for vibrant, multi-layered colors, giving these ferns life-like qualities that still resonate today.
Each print measures approximately 12 x 8 inches, making them ideal for framing and display in any space that appreciates botanical history. They are not only perfect for collectors of botanical art but also for those looking to bring nature-inspired decor into their home.
Condition Report: All prints are in good condition, with some minor foxing and age related toning, mostly on the edges. The colors are vivid, and the details remain crisp despite the prints’ age.

Antique and Vintage Prints for Wall Decor
Prints are works of art produced in multiple editions. Though several copies of a specific artwork can exist, collectors consider antique and vintage prints originals when they have been manually created by the artist or are “impressions” that are part of the artist’s intent for the work.
Modern artists use a range of printmaking techniques to produce different types of prints such as relief, intaglio and planographic. Relief prints are created by cutting away a printing surface to leave only a design. Ink or paint is applied to the raised parts of the surface, and it is used to stamp or press the design onto paper or another surface. Relief prints include woodcuts, linocuts and engravings.
Intaglio prints are the opposite of relief prints in that they are incised into the printing surface. The artist cuts the design into a block, plate or other material and then coats it with ink before wiping off the surface and transferring the design to paper through tremendous pressure. Intaglio prints have plate marks showing the impression of the original block or plate as it was pressed onto the paper.
Artists create planographic prints by drawing a design on a stone or metal plate using a grease crayon. The plate is washed with water, then ink is spread over the plate and it adheres to the grease markings. The image is then stamped on paper to make prints.
All of these printmaking methods have an intricate process, although each can usually transfer only one color of ink. Artists use separate plates or blocks for multiple colors, and together these create one finished work of art.
Find prints ranging from the 18th- and 19th-century bird illustrations by J.C. Sepp to mid-century modern prints, as well as numerous other antique and vintage prints at 1stDibs. Browse the collection today and read about how to arrange wall art in your space.
