About the Item
This rare and exquisite set includes five original hand-colored botanical lithographs of various lily species, published between 1877 and 1880 as part of the legendary “A Monograph of the Genus Lilium”, one of the finest botanical works of the 19th century.
Created by botanist Henry John Elwes and illustrated by the renowned botanical artist Walter Hood Fitch, each plate demonstrates the precision, elegance, and natural beauty of these floral studies. Lithographed and hand-colored in London, the prints depict different varieties of lilies such as Lilium longiflorum var. eximium, Lilium Washingtonianum, Lilium Brownii, and others.
Each print is presented in a handmade, gilded wooden frame with acid-free passepartout, professionally conserved and ready to hang. These works are not reproductions but original antique prints from the 19th century.
Technique: Lithograph, hand-colored
Frame: Gilded wood, custom-made
Walter Hood Fitch (1817–1892) – Illustrator
Henry John Elwes (1846–1922) – Botanist and author
