About the Item

The set of eight antique botany prints from "Beautiful Leaved Plants" by E.J. Lowe and W. Howard, published in 1891, offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of botanical illustration from the late 19th century. Each print showcases a different plant species, rendered with meticulous attention to detail, characteristic of the period's scientific and artistic rigor. 1. **Pandanus Javanicus Variegatus**: This print likely depicts the striking foliage of the Pandanus, a tropical plant known for its long, strappy, variegated leaves. The illustration would focus on the plant's unique leaf patterns and possibly its growth habit. 2. **Maranta Vittata**: Renowned for its beautifully patterned leaves, Maranta Vittata would be illustrated with its distinctive variegation. The print might capture the delicate veining and the contrast between the green and lighter colored areas of the leaves. 3. **Pteris Argyraea**: This fern, known for its silver variegation, would be represented with its intricate fronds. The print would likely highlight the contrast between the green fronds and the silvery areas, capturing the delicate structure of the fern. 4. **Convallaria Majalis Variegata**: This plant, also known as variegated Lily of the Valley, would be depicted with its bell-shaped flowers and variegated leaves. The print might emphasize the dainty flowers and the subtle variegation of the foliage. 5. **Tradescantia Odoratissima**: Known for its lush, trailing foliage, this print would showcase the plant’s cascading habit, perhaps focusing on the texture and color of the leaves, which might be rendered in fine detail. 6. **Anoectochilus Lowii**: A rare orchid with velvety, dark foliage. The print might highlight the unique texture and coloration of the leaves, possibly including a flower spike to show the plant in bloom. 7. **Croton Variegatum Angustifolium**: This plant is recognized for its brightly colored leaves. The illustration would likely focus on the vivid coloration and patterns of the leaves, capturing their narrow shape and the striking contrast of colors. 8. **Caladium Pictum**: Known for its large, heart-shaped leaves, this print would showcase the dramatic and colorful foliage. The illustration would likely emphasize the size and the intricate vein patterns of the leaves. Each print in this collection not only represents a botanical study but also reflects the artistry and scientific interest of the late 19th century, combining aesthetic beauty with educational value.
