About the Item

Title: Hand-Colored Botanical Lithograph of Sunflower and Linden Tree, Calwer, 1854 This vibrant botanical lithograph is from Carl Georg Calwer’s *Deutschlands Technische Pflanzen* (1854), a renowned work showcasing Germany’s technical plants. The illustration prominently features Helianthus annuus (sunflower) and Tilia cordata (small-leaved linden), both expertly rendered with intricate hand-coloring. The sunflower, with its striking yellow petals and bold seed head, is celebrated for its role in oil production, ornamental gardening, and bird feed. The linden tree, with its delicate blossoms and heart-shaped leaves, has long been valued for its medicinal properties and use in woodworking. The detailed composition highlights the leaves, stems, flowers, and seeds of both plants, blending artistic elegance with botanical accuracy. Annotations accompanying the illustration provide historical and scientific context, reflecting the utilitarian and cultural importance of these species in 19th-century Europe. This original lithograph is an exceptional piece for collectors, natural history enthusiasts, or anyone seeking decorative botanical art. Measuring approximately 24 x 30 cm, it is ideal for framing and display in libraries, studies, or galleries. Its timeless charm and educational value make it a prized addition to any collection. Condition: The print is in excellent condition, with minimal foxing and light edge wear. Colors are bright and well-preserved, with sharp and clear details throughout.

Botanical Illustration of Blanket Flower: Gaillardia Grandiflora, c.1855
Located in Langweer, NL
Botanical Illustration of Blanket Flower: Gaillardia Grandiflora This vibrant lithograph features the Gaillardia grandiflora, commonly known as the Blanket Flower. This striking plant is celebrated for its large, daisy-like flowers with bold colors ranging from red and orange to yellow, making it a popular choice in gardens for its bright and cheerful appearance. The illustration captures the vivid coloration and form of the flower, with its prominent central disk and ray florets surrounded by lush green foliage. This image is part of the 19th-century botanical series "Flore des Serres et des Jardins de l'Europe," created by the Belgian horticulturist Louis van Houtte. Known for his extensive work in horticulture, van Houtte's illustrations provided detailed and visually appealing representations of various plant species, aiming to document the beauty and diversity of the botanical world. Hand-colored lithography, the method used here, was a favored technique for its ability to accurately depict the vivid hues and intricate details of plants. The print is in good condition, with the colors well-preserved, though it may show minor signs of aging such as light foxing, which is typical for antique botanical...
