About the Item
Hand-Colored Botanical Lithograph of Hemp, Flax, and Horehound, Calwer, 1854
This vibrant botanical lithograph is from Carl Georg Calwer’s *Deutschlands Technische Pflanzen* (1854), a seminal work dedicated to the technical and industrial plants of Germany. The illustration highlights Cannabis sativa (hemp), Linum usitatissimum (flax), and Marrubium vulgare (horehound), each meticulously hand-colored to showcase their defining features. Hemp, with its long, narrow leaves, was historically essential for fiber, rope, and textile production. Flax, adorned with delicate blue flowers, played a significant role in the manufacture of linen and linseed oil. Horehound, known for its medicinal properties, was widely used in herbal remedies for respiratory ailments.
The lithograph combines artistic elegance with scientific accuracy, presenting intricate details of the leaves, stems, flowers, and seed structures. Accompanied by annotations, it offers valuable insight into the practical uses of these plants during the 19th century.
This original hand-colored lithograph is a superb addition to any collection of botanical art or natural history. Measuring approximately 24 x 30 cm, it is ideal for framing and display, enhancing the charm of libraries, studies, or galleries. It serves as both a decorative and educational piece, reflecting the utility and beauty of these important plants.
Condition: The print is in excellent condition with minimal foxing and light edge wear. The colors are vivid, and the details remain sharp, making it an exceptional example of 19th-century botanical illustration.
