Verdant Elegance: Botanical Artistry from 1880 Paris
About the Item
The three prints from "Les Plantes A Feuillage Colore Tome Second" feature illustrations of plants with distinctive and colorful foliage, a characteristic focus of the publication. Here’s a brief description of each:
1. The first print depicts a plant with a large, dense cluster of leaves. Each leaf is rounded with scalloped edges and exhibits a vibrant combination of green and a deep reddish-pink color. The leaves are tightly packed in a rosette formation, emanating from a central point, suggesting a lush, velvety texture.
2. In the second print, we see a plant with long, slender leaves. The leaves have an elegant variegation, with prominent green stripes on a lighter green background. The contrast in the variegation is striking and suggests the plant may be valued for its patterned foliage, which can stand out in a garden setting.
3. The third print shows a single, large leaf with an intricate pattern. The leaf is mostly green with a distinctive, regular pattern of yellow stripes that follow the natural veining. The edges of the leaf are gently serrated, and the combination of colors and patterns make it a visually interesting specimen, likely used for decorative purposes.
Each print is meticulously detailed, capturing the intricate patterns and color variations of the leaves, which is a testament to the craftsmanship of botanical illustration during that era. The prints also serve a scientific purpose, enabling identification and appreciation of the plant species' aesthetic qualities. The publisher, J. Rothschild, suggests a French origin, and the meticulous nature of the work implies a certain level of prestige and academic interest in botany at the time.
