About the Item
"Garden Elegance: A Triptych of 19th Century Botanical Illustrations"
Delight in the timeless beauty of nature with "Garden Elegance," an exquisite collection of three original antique prints from Edward Step's seminal work, "Favourite Flowers of Garden and Greenhouse." Published in 1896, this series captures the delicate intricacies of beloved floral specimens through the refined technique of chromolithography—a method that stood at the forefront of color printing technology in the 19th century. Each piece in this triptych sings with the vibrant hues and detailed artistry characteristic of the era's finest botanical illustrations.
1. **Sweet Pea (Lathyrus odoratus):** Renowned for its captivating fragrance and graceful blossoms, the Sweet Pea embodies the Victorian fascination with both beauty and scientific curiosity.
2. **Sensitive Plant (Mimosa pudica):** A botanical wonder, this illustration highlights the plant's remarkable response to touch, with its compound leaves and spherical flower heads.
3. **Coral Tree (Erythrina crista-galli):** A flamboyant splash of color, the Coral Tree's fiery red blooms are a symbol of the exotic allure of tropical flora.
Each print measures at the exact dimensions detailed in Step's work, preserving the authenticity and charm of the original pieces. These illustrations are not only a tribute to the botanical knowledge of the time but also a testament to the skilled craftsmanship of lithographers who brought these plants to life on paper. Presented side by side, they offer a glimpse into a bygone era of gardening elegance and scientific discovery, making them a perfect addition to the collection of any plant enthusiast, historian, or lover of fine art.
