About the Item
Title: "Botanical Study of an Apple and Blossoms: Hand-Colored 19th-Century Engraving"
Description:
This exquisite 19th-century botanical engraving showcases a beautifully detailed illustration of an apple (Malus domestica), accompanied by its delicate blossoms and lush foliage. The vibrant yellow-green apple, with its soft blush of red, is depicted with remarkable precision, highlighting its ripened texture and natural imperfections. The blossoms, with their intricate white petals and golden stamens, add a touch of elegance, emphasizing the life cycle of the fruit-bearing tree.
The hand-colored engraving reflects the artistic and scientific expertise of early naturalists, capturing the apple’s beauty while serving as a valuable reference for botanical studies and horticulture.
Key details:
1. A ripened apple with realistic coloring and shading, showcasing the fruit's texture and natural imperfections.
2. Apple blossoms with white petals, golden centers, and delicate pink buds, emphasizing the reproductive stage of the tree.
3. Large, veined leaves rendered with fine detail, enhancing the botanical accuracy of the engraving.
Condition:
The engraving is in very good condition with some minor age-related foxing and light edge discoloration. The colors remain vibrant, and the intricate details of the blossoms and fruit are well-preserved.
Advice on presentation:
1. Frame the engraving in a wooden or gilded frame to complement its natural beauty and botanical theme. Use an acid-free mat in a soft cream or pale green to enhance the colors and protect the artwork.
2. Display as a standalone centerpiece in a kitchen, dining room, or study, or pair it with other botanical prints for a cohesive collection.
3. For collectors, store the engraving in an archival-quality portfolio to ensure its longevity while allowing for detailed study.
4. Include a small plaque or descriptive label to highlight the botanical subject and its historical significance.
This engraving is ideal for collectors of botanical art, fruit enthusiasts, or those who appreciate the intersection of science and artistry in 19th-century natural history.
