About the Item

Alpine Avens and Crocus – Original Hand-Colored Botanical Print, 1880s A charming original 19th-century botanical print featuring Alpine Avens (Acaena microphylla) and Crocus boryanus, delicately illustrated in rich hand-colored detail. Published in the 1880s, this antique print showcases the meticulous style of Victorian-era botanical art, valued both for its scientific accuracy and its decorative appeal. The composition highlights two alpine plant species with contrasting textures: the soft blooms of Crocus boryanus and the intricate foliage and vibrant flowers of the Acaena. The vivid color palette remains remarkably fresh, capturing the essence of high-altitude flora. Printed on high-quality rag paper with light foxing consistent with age. A perfect addition to a botanical art collection, or a refined touch to a nature-inspired interior. Date: c.1880 Technique: Hand-colored lithograph Sheet size: Approx. 28 x 19 cm (11 x 7.5 in) Condition: Very good antique condition with light spotting and age toning. Unframed.
