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.
