About the Item
The decorative original antique prints are the second volume of "Les Plantes à Feuillage Coloré", published in Paris in 1880 by J. Rothschild, editor. These images are finely detailed botanical illustrations, likely lithographs, which were a common method for creating such prints at that time.
1. The first print depicts "Eranthemum Sanguinolentum" or "Hypoestes Sanguinolenta", now commonly known as the polka dot plant. It features a group of leaves with a rich green base color and vivid pink to red veining and spots, creating a striking contrast.
2. The second print showcases "Gymnostachyum Verschaffeltii", which is characterized by its elongated, oval leaves. These leaves have a deep green color with prominent red or pink veins, and like the polka dot plant, the contrast between the vein color and the leaf base is quite striking.
3. The third print is of "Musa Vittata", a variety of banana plant known for its ornamental foliage. The leaf depicted is large and elongated with a strong central vein. The green leaf surface is marked with broad, parallel, variegated stripes of a lighter color, possibly white or cream.
These prints exemplify the fascination with variegated and colorful foliage that was prevalent among horticulturists and plant enthusiasts of the Victorian era. They would have been used both for scientific study and as a means to showcase the beauty and diversity of plant life to those who might not have had the chance to see such specimens alive. The detailed rendering of each leaf's texture and pattern is also indicative of the high level of craftsmanship and artistic ability of the illustrators of that period.
