About the Item
"Serene Blossoms: Lotus and Peony Engravings"
Introducing "Serene Blossoms: Lotus and Peony Engravings", a trio of exquisite antique prints from the renowned "Favourite Flowers of Garden and Greenhouse" series by Edward Step, published in 1896. This set presents the Sacred Bean (Nelumbium speciosum), also known as the lotus, the Egyptian Water-Lily (Nymphaea lotus—var. rubra), and the Narrow-Leaved Peony (Paeonia tenuifolia).
Each botanical illustration is a testament to the unmatched lithographic techniques of the late 19th century, providing an unparalleled depth of color and detail. Lithography, which was a state-of-the-art printing method of the time, is characterized by its ability to capture complex illustrations with great precision. The added hand-coloring brings these prints to life, highlighting the natural beauty and grace of each species.
These pieces are not only visually striking but are also imbued with cultural and historical significance. The lotus and peony have been subjects of admiration across civilizations, celebrated for their beauty and symbolic meanings. These prints capture the essence of these flowers with artistic finesse, making them a prized possession for collectors and enthusiasts of botanical art.
The "Serene Blossoms" set offers a glimpse into the rich heritage of botanical illustration and would serve as a sophisticated accent in any setting. They are a perfect homage to the enchanting flora that continues to inspire awe and wonder.
