About the Item
"Edwardian Blossoms: A Triptych of Garden Elegance"
Indulge in the timeless beauty of Edward Step's "Favourite Flowers of Garden and Greenhouse", an exquisite collection of botanical illustrations from 1896. This trio of antique prints captures the refined elegance of Victorian horticulture, each print a vibrant testament to the era's fascination with garden splendors.
Crafted with the utmost precision, these chromolithographs showcase the intricate beauty of each species, from the delicate veins in a petal to the subtle gradients of color. Step's work is not just a scientific record; it is a celebration of the diversity and beauty of the natural world, a series that garden enthusiasts and art collectors alike have admired for over a century.
Each print is an original piece from the esteemed publication, which was lauded for its attention to detail and botanical accuracy. The techniques employed in creating these prints were the pinnacle of printing technology at the time, resulting in images that are as vibrant now as they were when first published.
Campion (Lychnis fulgens): The Campion features vibrant blossoms with a striking contrast between the deep red petals and the delicate, creamy edges. The naturalistic representation captures the slender green stems and foliage, emphasizing the plant's elegant structure.
Drooping Catchfly (Silene pendula): This print portrays the graceful arch of the Drooping Catchfly's stems, with clusters of soft pink flowers that evoke a sense of gentle movement. The attention to detail is evident in the depiction of the flower's anatomy, from the stamen to the unopened buds.
Catchfly (Silene armeria): The Catchfly stands out with its compact clusters of rosy flowers atop a bed of lush green leaves. The detailed illustration captures the beauty of the petals' subtle gradients and the plant's robust appearance.
This set includes three meticulously selected prints, each portraying a different genus, allowing for a diverse representation of Step's work. These prints, ideal for framing, would add a touch of Edwardian grace to any room or gallery.
Presented side by side, they create a panoramic display of botanical artistry, a tribute to the enduring legacy of Edward Step and the everlasting allure of flowers.
