Botanical Elegance: A Triptych of Variegated Splendor, Published in 1880
About the Item
The prints are beautifully detailed botanical illustrations from "Les Plantes à Feuillage Coloré," specifically from the second volume, published in 1880 in Paris with J. Rothschild as the publisher. This collection is part of a series that focuses on plants with distinct and colorful foliage, which was a popular subject for study and decoration during that period.
1. The first image depicts "Agave americana, foliis var.," which is a variety of the American Agave plant. This illustration shows a single leaf that is pointed and has a creamy yellow border with a rich green center. The leaf has sharp spines on the margins, a characteristic feature of agave plants.
2. The second image is an illustration of "Hibiscus cooperi," also known as Cooper's Hibiscus. It shows a plant with multiple leaves, each with a mix of green and creamy white color, and pink to red margins and veins. The leaves are arranged in a bushy form with a central stem.
3. The third print showcases "Sedum sieboldii," a type of succulent. The illustration presents rounded leaves with a pattern of green in the center and yellow around the edges, accented by pinkish-red margins. The plant is shown with small clusters of flowers on top, indicative of its blooming state.
Each of these prints is marked with the series title "Les Plantes à Feuillage," the plant's name, and a plate number—XXIV, XXV, and XXVI respectively—indicating their sequence in the collection. The illustrations are likely lithographs or hand-colored prints, which were common methods for botanical illustrations in the 19th century. The detail and vivid coloration suggest that they were created for both scientific purposes and as works of art to be enjoyed by enthusiasts and scholars.
