About the Item
"Heritage Blossoms: A Victorian Botanical Selection"
Description: Unveiling "Heritage Blossoms: A Victorian Botanical Selection" a trio of original antique prints from the esteemed "Favourite Flowers of Garden and Greenhouse" by Edward Step. This 1896 publication is lauded for its precise and vivid botanical representations, showcasing the splendor of the Ranunculus family.
The first print reveals the rich, velvety petals of 'Ranunculus Asiaticus', a species admired for its full, cup-shaped flowers and vibrant coloration.
The second print illustrates the cheerful brightness of the 'Marsh Marigold' (Caltha palustris var. pl.), its golden blooms evoking the freshness of spring.
The third completes the series with the intricate 'Spanish Fennel Flower' (Nigella hispanica), known for its unique, delicate structure and soft, blue hues.
These prints are rendered through the meticulous process of chromolithography, which was the height of printing technology in the late 19th century. This painstaking method enabled printers to achieve remarkable detail and color fidelity, resulting in illustrations that were as educational as they were beautiful.
Edward Step's work is a celebration of botanical diversity, blending scientific accuracy with artistic expression. This set of three original antique flower prints offer a journey through time, providing a glimpse into Victorian horticulture and printmaking. This set is perfect for collectors and aficionados of botany, art, and history, serving as a splendid homage to the enduring allure of flowers.
