The Prairie Pasqueflower: Anemone Patens, var. Nuttalliana, 1879

About the Item

This original antique artwork reflects the meticulous work of Thomas Meehan, and the image was published by L.Prang and Company in Boston, known for their exquisite chromolithographic work in the 19th century. The book from which this plate come, "The Native Flowers and Ferns of the United States in Their Botanical, Horticultural, and Popular Aspects," serves as a testament to the rich botanical heritage of the United States and the period's appreciation for natural sciences. Title: "The Prairie Pasqueflower: Anemone Patens, var. Nuttalliana" Description: This botanical illustration delicately portrays the Anemone patens, var. Nuttalliana, commonly known as the prairie pasqueflower or the prairie crocus. The plant is a herald of spring in the prairies of North America, often one of the first to bloom, even before the snow has fully melted. Numbered elements on the print detail various aspects of the plant: 1. The complete plant with roots showcases the delicate stem and the lobed leaves, which are covered in fine hairs, possibly for insulation against the cold. 2. The bud and the early stage of the flower's bloom are captured, highlighting the protective hairy covering and the emerging vibrant yellow and purple hues. 3. The mature seed head is shown with its elongated, feathery plume, which aids in wind dispersal of the seeds. 4. A single seed is depicted alongside, emphasizing the plant's method of propagation. The illustration likely comes from a comprehensive botanical guide, aiming to educate about the native flora. The careful attention to botanical detail in the print speaks to its educational value, providing a reference for botanists and plant enthusiasts alike.
