About the Item
"Ephemeral Blossoms: Treasures from 'Favourite Flowers of Garden and Greenhouse'"
Immerse yourself in the delicate charm of "Ephemeral Blossoms," an exclusive collection of original antique prints from "Favourite Flowers of Garden and Greenhouse" by Edward Step. Published in 1896, these botanical illustrations represent a bygone era of garden elegance and scientific discovery.
This trio of prints features the Gibraltar Candytuft (Iberis gibraltarica), with its clusters of intricate white blooms; the stately Rocket (Hesperis matronalis), standing tall with its cascades of mauve flowers; and the Virginian Stock (Malcolmia maritima), a celebration of subtle hues and refined beauty.
Edward Step's work was a Victorian masterpiece, capturing the vivid textures and hues of each plant with exceptional chromolithography—a painstaking process that layers colors using individual lithographic stones, resulting in illustrations rich in detail and depth. Each print was then hand-finished, ensuring that the true beauty of the flowers was preserved.
These prints are a testament to the intersection of art and nature, appealing not only to gardeners and botanists but also to those who cherish the artistry of the past. Owning "Ephemeral Blossoms" is a chance to adorn your space with the quiet grace of Victorian horticultural art.
