About the Item

Title: Alpine Botanical Lithograph Pair of Glacier Pink and Snow Primrose, 1874 Description: This exquisite botanical lithograph pair, published in 1874 by George Bell and Sons in London as part of the second series of Alpine Plants, captures two charming alpine treasures: the Glacier Pink (Dianthus glacialis) and the Snow Primrose (Primula nivalis). These prints are stunning examples of the precise yet elegant style of Victorian botanical illustration, blending artistic sensitivity with scientific accuracy. The left side of the print features the vivid, pink fringed petals of the Glacier Pink, a hardy alpine species that grows in rocky high-mountain habitats. Its bright color and finely detailed petals make it a favorite among alpine plant enthusiasts, and the lithograph captures every nuance of its delicate beauty. On the right, the Snow Primrose is rendered in cool whites and soft greens, its dense clusters of snowy blossoms standing out against the lush foliage. Known for thriving in the harsh conditions of alpine meadows, this plant’s portrayal is both scientifically accurate and artistically engaging. George Bell and Sons were well-regarded for producing works that elevated botanical illustration to an art form, and their Alpine Plants series is still treasured today for its accuracy, clarity, and beauty. This pair of lithographs exemplifies the best of Victorian natural history art, bringing the quiet charm of alpine flowers into homes and collections around the world. Condition summary: These 1874 prints are in excellent condition with only slight natural wear on the edges, adding a touch of authentic vintage appeal. Framing tips: Choose classic wooden frames with soft cream or muted green mats to enhance the rich pinks and cool whites of the flowers, creating a balanced and refined display that brings the calm elegance of alpine meadows into any interior.
