Verdant Splendor: Botanical Illustrations of Foliage from 1880
About the Item
The images are botanical illustrations from "Les Plantes à Feuillage Coloré Tome Second," published in Paris in 1880 with J. Rothschild as the editor.
1. The first image depicts a plant labeled as "Smilax macrophylla XXXI." It features elongated leaves with pointed tips, displaying a striking variegation of green and creamy white, alongside delicate tendrils curling gracefully at the edges.
2. The second illustration showcases "Alternanthera sessilis, var. amoena XXXIII," a plant characterized by its vibrant foliage. The leaves have an array of colors, including shades of green, red, pink, and creamy yellow, arranged in a compact, bushy formation.
3. The third image represents "Dichorisandra mosaica XXXIV," which shows broad, glossy leaves with a deep green base color and a complex, mosaic-like pattern of lighter green. The plant also features a prominent purple inflorescence, which adds a pop of color against the green foliage.
All three illustrations are beautifully rendered with fine attention to detail, capturing the unique color patterns and textures of the foliage, indicative of the high-quality botanical illustrations of that era.
