About the Item
Victorian Floral Bouquet with Garden Blooms from Book of Worlds, 1863
This richly colored botanical lithograph is an original hand-colored plate from the 1863 edition of *Book of Worlds* (Buch der Welt), a German natural history publication celebrated for its combination of scientific accuracy and artistic elegance. This particular plate presents a lively and meticulously arranged floral bouquet featuring a selection of popular ornamental flowers cultivated in 19th-century European gardens.
The bouquet includes identifiable varieties such as pansies, morning glories, carnations, zinnias, and marigolds—each distinctly rendered with attention to petal shape, venation, and coloration. Numbered labels correspond to the species, demonstrating the dual function of the plate as both a decorative object and an educational tool. The vivid palette ranges from deep crimson and bright yellow to pastel pinks and blues, with balanced foliage interspersed throughout, creating a harmonious composition.
The image reflects the mid-19th-century fascination with gardening, floriculture, and botanical education. During this period, floral symbolism was also highly popular, and many of the species shown held specific meanings in the Victorian language of flowers. The level of detail suggests that the original illustration was based on direct observation and possibly drawn by a trained botanical artist working in collaboration with a scientific editor or botanist.
This piece serves as a testament to the artistic and horticultural refinement of its time. It would have originally been part of a larger compendium intended for collectors, scholars, and the upper middle class who took great pride in cultivating ornamental gardens and acquiring knowledge of the natural world.
