About the Item
Hand-Colored Botanical Lithograph of Woad and White Goosefoot, Calwer, 1854
This rare and meticulously crafted botanical lithograph is from Carl Georg Calwer’s *Deutschlands Technische Pflanzen* (1854), a celebrated collection of Germany’s industrial and agricultural plants. The illustration features Isatis tinctoria (woad) and Chenopodium album (white goosefoot), both essential plants in historical industries. Woad, with its delicate yellow flowers and sturdy roots, was a primary source of blue dye for textiles before the advent of indigo. White goosefoot, characterized by its dense flowering spikes and narrow leaves, was historically cultivated for its edible seeds and leaves, which were used as a vegetable.
This hand-colored lithograph beautifully captures the fine details of both species, showcasing the roots, stems, flowers, and leaves with artistic and scientific accuracy. The annotations provide insight into the significance of these plants in 19th-century society, reflecting their agricultural and industrial value.
Measuring approximately 24 x 30 cm, this lithograph is an excellent addition to any collection of antique botanical prints or natural history artifacts. Perfect for framing and display, it brings a blend of educational depth and timeless beauty to libraries, galleries, or personal collections.
Condition: The print is in excellent condition with minimal foxing and slight edge wear. Colors remain vivid, and the intricate details are sharp and well-preserved, making it a valuable and attractive historical piece.
