About the Item

Title: Antique Botanical Print of Aristolochia à Fleurs Labellées - 19th Century Description: This antique botanical print, titled "Aristolochie à Fleurs Labellées," is a stunning 19th-century hand-colored engraving that depicts the unique and exotic flower of the Aristolochia family. Created by the renowned botanical illustrator Pierre Jean François Turpin, this print captures the plant's intricate patterns and distinctive shape with exceptional artistry and attention to detail. Turpin, active in the early 1800s, was known for his scientific precision and artistic flair, producing illustrations that remain highly sought-after by collectors today. The print features the remarkable Aristolochia flower, known for its distinctive hooded and spotted petals that create a dramatic visual effect. Turpin's careful shading and delicate lines bring out the flower's unusual structure and texture, making this illustration both an accurate botanical study and an aesthetically pleasing work of art. The subtle hand-coloring in shades of green, brown, and cream enhances the natural beauty of the plant and adds depth to the composition. Botanical prints like this one were created for educational and scientific publications in the 19th century, and they continue to appeal to enthusiasts of botanical art, collectors of historical prints, and interior decorators seeking timeless elegance. The plant depicted here is an Aristolochia, commonly known as birthwort, which has long fascinated botanists and gardeners for its unusual flowers and medicinal history. This piece is printed on fine laid paper with a creamy tone, adding to its antique charm. Its elegant lines and rich natural history make it a beautiful focal point for any botanical collection or as a striking piece of decor in a modern or classic setting. Condition report: This print is in good condition with minimal signs of aging, slight toning to the paper, and some minor foxing that does not detract from the overall appearance. Framing tips: For a refined presentation, frame this botanical print with a soft cream or ivory mat and a simple dark wood or gold frame to complement its warm antique tones and highlight its elegant botanical details.
