"Floral Masterpieces: A Collection of 19th-Century Horticultural Art"

This collection represents a pinnacle of horticultural illustration, capturing the nuanced beauty of popular 19th-century floral species with exceptional chromolithographic artistry.
1. Hybrid Abutilon (Abutilon venoso x striatum): This print highlights the rich, velvety reds of the Hybrid Abutilon, complemented by intricate foliage detail.
2. Shoe Flower (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis): Renowned for its flamboyant blooms, this illustration depicts the Shoe Flower with its striking crimson petals and contrasting yellow stamen.
3. Hibiscus Roseus: The subtle pink shades of Hibiscus Roseus are rendered with a soft, delicate touch, inviting the viewer to appreciate its understated elegance.
Each print in this series exemplifies the meticulous attention to detail and the vibrant coloration that chromolithography afforded artists of the era. These illustrations not only served as a visual delight for Victorian society but also contributed significantly to the scientific study and classification of plants.
Presented with a white border that accentuates their detail, these prints are a testament to the enduring legacy of Victorian botanical exploration. They offer collectors and enthusiasts an opportunity to own a piece of botanical and illustrative history, perfectly suited for display in any setting that values both aesthetic and historical significance.
"Floral Masterpieces" stands as a tribute to Edward Step's contribution to botanical sciences and art, as well as to the time-honored craft of chromolithography. These prints are sure to enchant anyone with an appreciation for antique botanical art...
