About the Item
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 for botanists and gardeners of the time but also as decorative pieces for enthusiasts of botanical art. The lithography technique used in these prints ensures the reproduction of fine detail and subtle color gradations, characteristic of the craftsmanship of the period. The publisher, J. Rothschild, is indicative of the era’s dedication to disseminating knowledge and celebrating the natural world through the medium of high-quality prints.
