Orchid Elegance: Masterpieces of Botanical Illustration from 1904
About the Item
The collage comprises three detailed botanical illustrations from Walter Müller's 'Abbildungen der in Deutschland und den angrenzende Gebieten vorkommenden Grundformen der ORCHIDEEN-ARTEN', a work that details the fundamental forms of orchid species found in Germany and adjacent areas, published in 1904.
Each print in the collage features a different orchid species, meticulously rendered to showcase both the beauty and the scientific details of the plants. They likely serve as both an aesthetic display and an educational resource, illustrating the flowers, leaves, root systems, and sometimes even dissected parts of the plants to give a comprehensive understanding of their structure and form.
The first print in the collage depicts 'Cephalanthera grandiflora', commonly known as the large white helleborine. The illustration shows the plant in full bloom with its distinctive large, white flowers, and a detailed view of the root system and floral parts.
The second print shows 'Cephalanthera ensifolia', displaying its slender leaves and white blossoms, with a more elongated shape compared to the grandiflora. Dissections of the flower parts are also illustrated, emphasizing the form and structure of the blooms.
The third print is of 'Goodyera repens', known as the creeping lady's-tresses. This species is characterized by its small white flowers arranged in a dense spiral on the stem and its broad, patterned leaves. The illustration includes detailed views of the individual flowers, both whole and sectioned, to reveal internal structures.
These prints are not only important for their scientific value but also as historical documents. They reflect the artistry and craftsmanship of botanical illustration during the early 20th century, capturing the intricate details of orchid species with precision and clarity.
