Varieties of Elegance: Portraits of Orchids in 1904 Botanical Study

About the Item

A trio of orchid illustrations, each radiating the elegance and complexity of these botanical specimens as captured in the early 20th century. The first image, "Orchis spitzelii Sauter," displays a striking spike of deep pink flowers, each petal marked with delicate veins, alongside a singular flower detail and a bulbous root system. Next, "Orchis latifolia L." presents the broad-leaved orchid with its vibrant purple inflorescence and spotted foliage, providing insight into the species' anatomy with dissected flower parts and a textured seed pod. Lastly, "Orchis sambucina L." features the elder-flowered orchid, known for its richly hued, dense floral arrangement and distinctive, star-shaped blooms, accompanied by a detailed view of its individual flower structure and tuberous roots. Together, these images form a collage that serves as a botanical archive, highlighting the intricate details and natural beauty of orchids, as well as the meticulous craftsmanship of Walter Müller's botanical illustrations.
