About the Item
Title: Alpine Botanical Lithograph of Arabis Blepharophylla and Saxifraga Ambigua, 1874
Description: This elegant botanical lithograph, published in 1874 by George Bell and Sons in London as part of the second series of Alpine Plants, features two charming alpine species: Arabis blepharophylla and Saxifraga ambigua. The lithograph exemplifies the Victorian passion for natural history, where scientific accuracy and artistic beauty come together to create timeless works of botanical art.
On the left side of the print, Arabis blepharophylla, known for its vivid pinkish-purple blooms, stands gracefully on slender stems above a neat rosette of glossy green leaves. Each bloom is rendered with fine detail, capturing the subtle veining of the petals and the fresh vibrancy of this lovely alpine flower. On the right side, Saxifraga ambigua displays a delicate contrast with its bright yellow flowers set against a backdrop of finely textured green foliage. The intricate network of pinkish-red stems, with their soft, hairy surface, adds a striking visual interest that enhances the unique character of this alpine perennial.
Published by George Bell and Sons, these lithographs were part of a broader movement that celebrated the wonders of alpine flora, bringing them to the attention of Victorian naturalists, botanists, and collectors alike. The Alpine Plants series remains cherished for its ability to capture the resilient beauty of mountain plants that thrive in some of the world’s most challenging environments.
Condition summary: This 1874 lithograph is in very good antique condition, with only minimal wear at the edges, which enhances its authentic vintage character.
Framing tips: To highlight the vibrant pinks and sunny yellows, use classic wooden frames with soft cream or pale green mats. This will create a harmonious display that draws out the rich botanical details and adds a touch of sophisticated elegance to any interior.
