Botanical Illustration of Pink Wood-Sorrel – A Delightful Antique Floral Print

About the Item

Charming 1828 Botanical Illustration of Pink Wood-Sorrel – A Delightful Antique Floral Print This illustration is from a botanical series likely associated with "The Botanical Magazine" or a similar publication by Samuel Curtis. It is labeled with the plate number 2830, indicating it is part of an extensive collection of botanical studies. Published by Samuel Curtis in Walworth on June 1, 1828. The artist, identified as J. H. (possibly John Haynes), contributed to the detailed depiction, with the engraving completed by Swan. Samuel Curtis was a significant figure in botanical publishing, known for his high-quality and informative botanical illustrations that captured the beauty and detail of plant species. This engraving showcases the Pink Wood-Sorrel (Oxalis articulata), characterized by its vibrant pink flowers with delicately veined petals and heart-shaped leaves. The illustration also includes detailed drawings of the flower's internal structures, highlighting the plant's botanical anatomy. The use of color is both delicate and vibrant, bringing out the subtle hues of the flowers and the lush green of the foliage. This print is a perfect example of 19th-century botanical art, combining scientific accuracy with artistic elegance, making it a prized piece for collectors and enthusiasts. The print is in good condition with bright colors and sharp details. Minor signs of aging, such as light foxing and slight discoloration at the edges, are visible but do not detract from the overall appearance. Well-suited for framing.
