About the Item

Title: Alpine Botanical Lithograph Pair of Vinca and Trillium, 1874 Description: This delightful pair of botanical lithographs, published in 1874 by George Bell and Sons in London as part of the second series of Alpine Plants, showcases two beautiful alpine plants: Vinca herbacea (Herbaceous Periwinkle) and Trillium grandiflorum (Large-flowered Trillium). These prints are exceptional examples of Victorian botanical illustration, merging scientific accuracy with artistic elegance. On the left, the lithograph features the delicate, star-shaped flowers of the Herbaceous Periwinkle. The vivid violet-blue blossoms and slender green leaves are carefully rendered, capturing the plant’s understated beauty and its place as a resilient groundcover in alpine gardens. On the right, the lithograph of the Large-flowered Trillium displays its striking, pure white, three-petaled blooms surrounded by broad, rich green foliage. The Trillium’s elegant form is depicted with such precision and care that each fine detail, from the gentle curve of the petals to the sturdy upright stems, seems to spring to life. Produced by the respected Victorian publisher George Bell and Sons, these prints were part of a movement that celebrated the wonders of alpine flora, bringing them to the attention of botanists, collectors, and art enthusiasts alike. Each lithograph in this series not only documents the unique characteristics of these alpine plants but also serves as a timeless work of art that continues to captivate viewers. Condition summary: These antique prints are in very good condition with only minor age-related wear at the edges, adding to their authentic charm. Framing tips: To highlight the cool violet and bright white flowers, use classic wooden frames with a soft cream or muted green mat. This will enhance the vivid colors and delicate botanical details, creating a refined and elegant display that captures the serene beauty of alpine meadows.
