Trio of Elegance: Vintage Botanical Prints, Published in 1880
About the Item
These botanical prints from "Les Plantes à Feuillage Coloré, Tome Second," published in 1880 by J. Rothschild in Paris, are exquisite examples of 19th-century botanical illustration. Each print showcases a plant species with remarkable attention to detail, capturing the vibrant patterns and color variations in their leaves, which is a hallmark of the book's focus on plants with ornamental foliage.
The first print depicts the "Rhapis flabelliformis, foliis var.," commonly known as the Lady Palm, with its characteristic broad, fan-shaped leaves prominently displaying variegated stripes of yellow and green.
The second illustration features the "Cypripedium concolor," a type of slipper orchid. This print emphasizes the unique mottled and spotted foliage, as well as the distinct, pouch-like structure of the flower, rendered in shades of yellow with burgundy accents.
The third image represents the "Aralia Veitchii," known as the Veitch's Aralia. This print illustrates the plant's long, slender leaves with deep grooves and serrated edges, radiating from a central point like spokes on a wheel.
All three prints are notable for their botanical accuracy and artistic presentation, which would have been invaluable for both the scientific community and horticultural enthusiasts of the era. The lithographs are rendered with a sensitivity to the textures and patterns that make each species unique, providing a window into the rich diversity of the plant kingdom as understood in the late 19th century.

Variegated Elegance: A Study of Patterned Botanicals, Published in 1880
Located in Langweer, NL
The prints from "Les Plantes à Feuillage Coloré, Tome Second," published in Paris in 1880 by J. Rothschild as the editor, are a magnificent showcase of the art and science of botany in the late 19th century. The first image depicts 'Yucca aloifolia variegata,' elegantly displaying its long, sword-like leaves adorned with creamy margins against a green central stripe, a testament to its variegated variety. The precision in the illustration highlights the plant’s architectural form and the subtle color gradations.
The second image presents 'Aucuba japonica aureo-maculata,' where the broad, glossy leaves are splattered with golden yellow spots against a rich green background. This ornamental shrub is complemented by a cluster of bright red berries that stand out vividly, offering a beautiful contrast in both color and form.
The third print features 'Alocasia jenningsii,' a striking tropical plant with large, heart-shaped leaves. The deep green of the leaves is dramatically interrupted by dark, almost black, symmetrical blotches that follow the veins. This pattern creates a stunning visual effect reminiscent of a butterfly’s wings.
All three prints reflect a fusion of scientific observation and artistic interpretation. They not only served as educational material...
