"Botanical Elegance: A Triptych of 19th-Century Floral Art"
An exquisite collection of original antique prints from "Favourite Flowers of Garden and Greenhouse" by the esteemed botanist Edward Step, published in 1896. This set of three prints showcases the remarkable diversity and beauty of floral species meticulously documented in the late Victorian period.
1. Spanish Lavatera (Lavatera trimestris): Admire the delicate blush and vibrant pink hues of this Mediterranean native, radiating warmth and romantic charm.
2. Camellia Japonica: Esteemed for its waxy, perfectly formed petals and strikingly bold colors, this print captures the timeless grace of the Camellia in full bloom.
3. Rose of Sharon (Hypericum calycinum): Also known as Aaron's beard, this hardy shrub is celebrated for its bright yellow flowers and lush, green foliage.
Edward Step's work is a testament to the Victorian era's fascination with botany and natural history, making these prints not only a visual delight but also a historical treasure. The chromolithographic technique used in these prints was a revolutionary process at the time, allowing for vibrant, multi-hued illustrations that still retain their brilliance more than a century later.
Printed on high-quality paper and framed by a delicate white border, these prints are perfect for collectors and enthusiasts wishing to own a piece of botanical art history. Their enduring charm and scientific accuracy make them a valuable addition to any collection, offering a glimpse into the rich botanical heritage of the past.
