Vibrant Varieties: Showcasing Red and Yellow Maize in Botanical Art, c. 1875
Located in Langweer, NL
The original antique botanical illustration depicts two varieties of Zea mays, commonly known as corn or maize. This artwork showcases the diversity within this staple crop, featuring both a deep red and a classic golden yellow variety.
The maker of this print, Louis Van Houtte, was instrumental in producing "Flore des Serres et des Jardins de l'Europe." Van Houtte was renowned for his detailed and vibrant botanical prints, which were produced through the method of chromolithography—a pioneering print technique of that era which allowed for the rich and precise reproduction of colors.
About Louis Van Houtte:
- Career and Contributions: Louis Van Houtte was a Belgian horticulturist, botanist, and publisher who operated one of the largest nurseries of the time. His nursery specialized in exotic plants, and he was known for his expertise in botany and keen business acumen.
- Flore des Serres et des Jardins de l'Europe: This was one of the most prominent works in botanical literature in the 19th century, illustrating thousands of plants. Van Houtte employed several talented artists to create detailed illustrations of plants cultivated in his nursery, as well as other notable specimens from around the world.
- Legacy and Influence: Van Houtte's work had a significant impact on the dissemination of botanical knowledge and the popularization of horticulture in Europe and beyond. His meticulous attention to the accuracy and aesthetics of plant illustrations set...

Engravings of Egypt's Sphinx and Hermopolis: Early European Exploration, c.1795
Located in Langweer, NL
The two engravings displayed side by side depict monumental structures from ancient Egypt and are dated to the late 18th century. They are both examples of European interest in documenting and exploring Egyptian antiquities during the period of early exploration and fascination with the ancient world.
### Image 1: Profile View of the Remains of the Sphinx near the Pyramids of Egypt
- Subject: The Sphinx, one of Egypt's most iconic monuments, is shown with its body largely buried in sand, as it was during this period before modern excavations. The figures atop and around the Sphinx provide scale and show the magnitude of the monument. The image also captures European explorers and researchers measuring the Sphinx, emphasizing the curiosity and study of ancient civilizations.
- Age: This engraving likely dates from the late 18th century, during a time when European expeditions to Egypt were becoming more common, particularly following Napoleon's campaign in the late 1790s, which sparked Egyptomania across Europe.
- Maker: The engraving is credited to Denon and Lege, both of whom were active artists and engravers during this time. Dominique Vivant Denon...

"Heritage Blooms: A Triptych of Geranium Varietals"
Delve into the botanical elegance of the 19th century with this exquisite set of three antique prints, highlighting the timeless allure of Geranium species. These original illustrations come from Edward Step's seminal work, "Favourite Flowers of Garden and Greenhouse," published in 1896.

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.
