About the Item
Title: Alpine Botanical Lithograph Pair of Iris and Pyrenean Dead-nettle, 1874
Description: This exceptional pair of botanical lithographs, published in 1874 by George Bell and Sons in London as part of the second series of Alpine Plants, highlights two striking alpine flowers: the Reticulated Iris (Iris reticulata) and the Pyrenean Dead-nettle (Horminum pyrenaicum). These fine prints exemplify the perfect balance of scientific precision and artistic beauty that defined Victorian botanical illustration.
The left lithograph features the dainty Soldanella minima, also known as the Alpine Snowbell, with its charming nodding white bell-shaped flowers rising above clusters of rounded green leaves. Beneath this delicate plant blooms the striking Iris reticulata, with deep purple petals edged with rich yellow accents, a classic example of the dramatic elegance of alpine irises.
The right lithograph showcases the Pyrenean Dead-nettle, a robust and showy alpine perennial with vibrant purple tubular flowers and broad, deeply veined green leaves. The careful detailing of the flowers, leaves, and even the surrounding rocky alpine soil reflects the dedication of Victorian artists to capture the essence of these mountain species in both form and habitat.
These lithographs, produced by the esteemed George Bell and Sons, are part of the Alpine Plants series that brought the captivating flora of remote alpine environments into the drawing rooms of 19th-century naturalists and collectors. Combining scientific accuracy with the refined aesthetics of Victorian artistry, they remain cherished examples of botanical art’s enduring appeal.
Condition summary: These antique lithographs are in excellent condition, with only slight age-related wear along the edges that enhances their authentic vintage charm.
Framing tips: Classic wooden frames with soft cream or muted green mats will enhance the vibrant purples and delicate whites of the flowers, creating a timeless display that adds an elegant botanical touch to any setting.
