About the Item
"Garden Elegance: A Triptych of 19th Century Botanical Illustrations"
Delight in the timeless beauty of "Garden Elegance," a captivating collection of three original antique prints from the esteemed publication "Favourite Flowers of Garden and Greenhouse" by Edward Step, dated 1896.
This exquisite triptych comprises meticulous lithographs of the French Honeysuckle (Hedysarum Coronarium), Wistaria Sinensis, and Goat's Rue (Galega Officinalis), each a testament to the intricate detail and rich coloration characteristic of the era's lithographic techniques.
Created at the zenith of botanical exploration, these prints celebrate the Victorian fascination with horticulture and the natural world.
Edward Step's work is renowned for its contribution to botanical literature, capturing the delicate nuances of each species with scientific accuracy and artistic finesse. The lithography process used for these prints, involving oil and water on a flat printing surface to reproduce the artist's original vision, has rendered images that have withstood the test of time, maintaining their vibrant hues and precise detail.
This set, presented with a one-centimeter white border, perfect for framing, is a must-have for collectors and enthusiasts of botanical art and history. It offers a glimpse into the Victorian era's garden and greenhouse favorites, bringing a piece of horticultural heritage into the modern-day. Whether displayed in a study, conservatory, or living room, these prints promise to infuse any space with the charm and elegance of 19th-century botany.
