About the Item
"Ephemeral Blossoms: A Chronicle of 1896 Botanical Elegance"
Delve into the floral opulence of the Victorian era with this exquisite triptych of botanical illustrations, originally presented in Edward Step's monumental work, "Favourite Flowers of Garden and Greenhouse," published in 1896. This collection is a celebration of horticultural beauty and scientific study, featuring three meticulously detailed prints that embody the Victorian passion for botanicals and the art of chromolithography.
Each print in this series is a testament to the craftsmanship and attention to detail characteristic of the period. The illustrations showcase a variety of flowering specimens, from the delicate intricacies of the Calandrinia Umbellata to the vibrant hues of the Purslane (Portulaca Grandiflora), and the subtle elegance of the Rose Campion (Lychnis Coronaria). The artist's skilled hand is evident in the fine lines and nuanced shading that bring each petal and leaf to life, making them leap off the page in a vibrant mimicry of nature's splendour.
This is not merely a collection of illustrations; it represents an era where botanical illustrations were both a scientific endeavour and a form of artistic expression. The use of chromolithography, a pioneering technique of the time, allowed for the precise replication of the artist's original vision, preserving the colors and textures with exceptional accuracy. Each color layer was painstakingly added, one at a time, to achieve a print that was as much a scientific record as it was a work of art.
This set of prints will enchant not only those with a fondness for antique illustration but also those who appreciate the intersection of art and nature. They are perfect for the collector, the historian, or anyone who wishes to infuse their space with the timeless charm and botanical richness of the Victorian garden.
