About the Item

"Charming Florals of the Victorian Era: A Collection from 'Favourite Flowers of Garden and Greenhouse'" Step into the enchanting world of Victorian horticulture with "Charming Florals of the Victorian Era," a collection of original antique prints from the celebrated work "Favourite Flowers of Garden and Greenhouse" by Edward Step. Published in 1896, this collection was among the era's most comprehensive guides to the flowers adorning the lush gardens and glasshouses of the time. This trio of prints showcases a diverse palette of nature's splendor: the vibrant Wallflower (Cheiranthus cheiri), the lush Ten-Week Stock (Matthiola annua), and the delicate Dicentra Spectabilis, also known as Bleeding Heart. Each illustration is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship and passion for botanical accuracy and beauty that defined the Victorian era. Produced using the chromolithography printing technique, these illustrations represent a period when art and science were intertwined, and the replication of floral beauty required both technical skill and artistic vision. Chromolithography was a revolutionary method allowing for the mass production of color images, each layer of color printed from a different stone, meticulously drawn by hand. The resulting images were then often hand-finished to produce the rich textures and depth that make these prints so collectible today. These prints not only depict the botanical detail with scientific precision but also exude the character and charm of the era, making them ideal for collectors, decorators, and historians alike. They bring not just aesthetic appeal but a piece of history into any space they grace. Collect "Charming Florals of the Victorian Era" and let the legacy of Edward Step's botanical artistry inspire and add elegance to your home or office.
