About the Item
Title: Alpine Botanical Lithograph of Dwarf Hoary Sea-lavender, 1874
Description: This exceptional botanical lithograph, dating from 1874, depicts the Dwarf Hoary Sea-lavender, scientifically known as Statice incana nana. Published by George Bell and Sons in London as part of the second series of Alpine Plants, it is a prime example of the fine art of Victorian botanical illustration. The lithograph captures the slender stems of the Dwarf Hoary Sea-lavender, beautifully adorned with clusters of deep red, tube-shaped flowers. Each tiny blossom is meticulously drawn, with delicate green foliage adding a soft, natural contrast to the bright crimson hues.
The artist behind this lithograph displayed remarkable skill, achieving a level of detail that brings the delicate texture of each flower and leaf to life. This level of precision and subtle shading is typical of the Victorian era’s fascination with botany and the natural sciences, where art met scientific observation in the most charming and enduring of ways.
George Bell and Sons were known for their commitment to high-quality publications that celebrated both artistry and scientific accuracy. This print is no exception, offering a glimpse into the meticulous work of the period’s botanical artists. As part of the Alpine Plants series, it not only captures the unique character of the Dwarf Hoary Sea-lavender but also preserves the aesthetic values of a bygone age.
Condition summary: The print remains in very good antique condition, with only minor wear along the top right edges or corner, which is, once framed, not visible. There is an authentic charm to this Victorian botanical treasure.
Framing tips: To enhance the rich reds and natural greens, choose a warm wooden frame and a neutral cream or soft green mat to complement the botanical subject and give this lovely print a timeless, refined appearance.
