Heritage Blooms: A Triptych of Geranium Varietals, 1896

About the Item

"Heritage Blooms: A Triptych of Geranium Varietals" Delve into the botanical elegance of the 19th century with this exquisite set of three antique prints, highlighting the timeless allure of Geranium species. These original illustrations come from Edward Step's seminal work, "Favourite Flowers of Garden and Greenhouse," published in 1896. The collection features the Oak-Leaf Geranium (Pelargonium Graveolens), the Ivy-Leaved Geranium (Pelargonium Lateripes), and the Zonal Geranium (Pelargonium Zonale) with its fascinating hybrids. Each print stands out for its meticulous detail and delicate chromolithography—a technique that was the pinnacle of print artistry in the late Victorian era, offering richness in color and precision in form. The use of this method requires a separate lithographic stone for each hue, culminating in a depth of color and texture that is both vibrant and precise. These botanical illustrations not only represent the scientific interest in the natural world at the time but also embody the Victorian love for the ornamental and exotic. Perfect for collectors, horticultural enthusiasts, or as a statement of elegance in any decor, this triptych offers a glimpse into a bygone era of botanical artistry and the enduring beauty of geraniums. Acquiring this set is more than a purchase—it's an investment in horticultural history and artistry. Ideal for display in a setting that appreciates the fusion of science, history, and art, "Heritage Blooms" invites contemplation and conversation, promising to be a cherished part of any collection. **Technique:** Chromolithography **Origin:** "Favourite Flowers of Garden and Greenhouse" by Edward Step, 1896 Celebrate the charm of Victorian botanical exploration and the enduring beauty of geraniums with this unique set.
