About the Item

Antique botany print of the golden fig-marigold. This print originates from 'The Botanical Magazine; or Flower-Garden Displayed (..)' by William Curtis. Published 1794. The Botanical Magazine; or Flower-Garden Displayed, is an illustrated publication which began in 1787. The longest running botanical magazine, it is widely referred to by the subsequent name Curtis's Botanical Magazine. Each of the issues contains a description, in formal yet accessible language, and is renowned for featuring the work of two centuries of botanical illustrators. Many plants received their first publication on the pages, and the description given was enhanced by the keenly detailed illustrations. The illustrations were initially hand-coloured prints, taken from copper engravings and intended to complement the text. Identification by a general reader was given in exploded details, some of which were given as a section. This was accompanied by a page or two of text describing the plants properties, history, growth characteristics, and some common names for the species.

Botanical Illustration of Blanket Flower: Gaillardia Grandiflora, c.1855
Located in Langweer, NL
Botanical Illustration of Blanket Flower: Gaillardia Grandiflora This vibrant lithograph features the Gaillardia grandiflora, commonly known as the Blanket Flower. This striking plant is celebrated for its large, daisy-like flowers with bold colors ranging from red and orange to yellow, making it a popular choice in gardens for its bright and cheerful appearance. The illustration captures the vivid coloration and form of the flower, with its prominent central disk and ray florets surrounded by lush green foliage. This image is part of the 19th-century botanical series "Flore des Serres et des Jardins de l'Europe," created by the Belgian horticulturist Louis van Houtte. Known for his extensive work in horticulture, van Houtte's illustrations provided detailed and visually appealing representations of various plant species, aiming to document the beauty and diversity of the botanical world. Hand-colored lithography, the method used here, was a favored technique for its ability to accurately depict the vivid hues and intricate details of plants. The print is in good condition, with the colors well-preserved, though it may show minor signs of aging such as light foxing, which is typical for antique botanical...
