About the Item

This collage contains three botanical illustrations from the book 'Abbildungen der in Deutschland und den angrenzende Gebieten vorkommenden Grundformen der ORCHIDEEN-ARTEN' by Walter Müller, published in 1904. The botanical illustrations depict species of the genus Epipactis, commonly known as helleborine. These prints are detailed representations showing the plants in various stages of growth and bloom. They highlight the delicate structure of the flowers, the arrangement of leaves along the stem, and the intricate details of the root systems, which are characteristic features of this orchid genus. The first print seems to depict Epipactis microphylla, which is characterized by small leaves and a relatively sparse floral arrangement. The second one also represents Epipactis microphylla, providing a closer look at the individual flowers and the anatomy of the plant, including the roots. The third illustration showcases Epipactis violacea, recognizable by its violet-tinged flowers and a more robust and dense inflorescence compared to the microphylla. These prints are likely to be scientific in purpose, aiming to provide an accurate and comprehensive understanding of these orchid species to the readers or researchers of that time. They are executed with a high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail, which is typical of botanical illustrations from the turn of the 20th century. The illustrations not only served as documentation of the species but also as works of art, reflecting the skill of the illustrator and the beauty of the subject matter.
