About the Item
The antique botanical print titled 'Cactus Truncatus' is a beautiful depiction of the Schlumbergera, commonly known as the Christmas cactus. Here's some information about this print:
1. **Title:** 'Cactus Truncatus'
2. **Botanical Significance:** The print showcases the Schlumbergera or Christmas cactus, a popular ornamental plant known for its vibrant and colorful flowers. This cactus is often cultivated for its attractive blooms, which typically appear during the holiday season, hence the common name "Christmas cactus."
3. **Origin:** The print originates from 'Sertum Botanicum. Collection Choisie de Plantes Les Plus Remarquables par Leur Elegance, Leur Eclat & Leur Utilite,' which can be translated as 'Botanical Wreath: A Chosen Collection of Plants Notable for Their Elegance, Splendor, and Utility.' The work was authored by Pierre Corneille Van Geel.

5. **Lithography:** The print is a lithograph, a printing technique that was widely used for botanical illustrations during the 19th century. Lithography allowed for the creation of highly detailed and accurate reproductions of plant specimens.
6. **Illustrator:** The lithograph plates for this work were created by de Burggraaff, based on drawings by G. Severeyns. These artists played a crucial role in accurately representing the botanical subjects in the print.
7. **Botanical Collection:** 'Sertum Botanicum' is a collection of botanical illustrations that highlights the elegance, splendor, and utility of various plant species. It was a valuable resource for botanists, horticulturists, and plant enthusiasts of its time.
This antique botanical print not only serves as a visual delight but also contributes to the historical documentation of plant species that were of interest during the 19th century. It reflects the appreciation of botanical diversity and the desire to capture the beauty of nature in art and science.
