About the Item

Lithograph of Heterotropa Asaroides from 1854-1855 by Louis van Houtte This exquisite lithograph, measuring 24 x 16 cm (9.5 x 6.5 inches), depicts the plant Heterotropa Asaroides, known commonly as "Heterotropa" or "Asarum". This plant is native to Japan and is notable for its distinctive heart-shaped, variegated leaves and unique flower structure. The illustration includes detailed views of the plant's flowers and reproductive structures, typical of botanical illustrations intended for scientific and horticultural purposes. The artwork comes from "Flore des Serres et des Jardins de l'Europe", a celebrated botanical series created by Louis van Houtte, a renowned Belgian horticulturist from the 19th century. Van Houtte was known for employing plant collectors to gather specimens from various parts of the world, which were then meticulously illustrated in his publications. The technique used for this illustration is lithography, enhanced with original hand coloring, which was a common method during that time to produce vibrant and accurate botanical images. The condition of the lithograph appears to be well-preserved, with clear details and rich colors, although some signs of age such as minor discoloration or foxing are present, typical of prints from this period. Two tiny pinholes on the outer right. This piece is not only a scientific record but also an artful representation, reflecting the 19th-century passion for botany and the exploration of global plant diversity.
