Heritage Botanicals: A Triptych of 1880 Parisian Flora
About the Item
The images are botanical illustrations from "Les Plantes à Feuillage Coloré," published in Paris in 1880 with J. Rothschild as the editor. These prints are characteristic of the period's fascination with botany and the detailing of plant species for scientific and decorative purposes.
1. The first print shows a leaf from the plant 'Peperomia argyrea.' It's depicted with a heart-shaped structure, dark green on the upper side with characteristic silver banding. The leaf connects to the stem with a pinkish-red petiole. The detailed veins give it a ribbed appearance, typical for this species.
2. The second print illustrates a leaf from 'Canna atronigricans.' This leaf has a lanceolate shape, which means it's much longer than it is wide, with a tapered tip. The color is a deep, rich burgundy or maroon with a lighter colored central vein. The overall appearance is quite bold and suggests a species with a tropical origin.
3. The third print depicts leaves from 'Coleus Blumei var. Marshallii, Murrayi, Telfordi,' known for their vivid and variable foliage. The leaves shown here are broad and serrated, with a mix of bright green and deep red-purplish tones, forming intricate patterns. The striking contrast in color and the detailed venation are clearly visible, demonstrating the diversity within the coleus varieties.
Each illustration is highly detailed, showcasing the textures and patterns of the leaves, indicative of the expertise and care that went into creating these botanical illustrations. These plates are labeled with their botanical names and the plate number, adhering to the scientific practices of the time for plant documentation and identification.

Heritage Blooms: A Triptych of Geranium Varietals, 1896
Located in Langweer, NL
"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...
