About the Item

Ephemeral Elegance: Orchids of 1904 in Müller's Illustrations Description: This collage presents a trio of exquisite botanical illustrations from Walter Müller's 1904 book, a comprehensive depiction of orchid species indigenous to Germany and adjacent regions. The first image illustrates "Orchis ustulata L.", notable for its rich, burnished flowers peppered with crimson spots, set against a backdrop of delicate green foliage. The second print captures the dense floral arrangement of "Orchis purpurea Huds.", with its deep purple blossoms and broad leaves. The final illustration portrays "Orchis papilionacea L.", distinguished by its vibrant pink and purple petals that resemble the wings of a butterfly. Each piece is meticulously rendered, highlighting Müller's ability to convey both the scientific detail and the natural beauty of these orchids. Insets detail the anatomy of the flowers, emphasizing their unique characteristics and the precision of Müller's work, making the collection invaluable for both botanical education and historical reference.
