About the Item

"Victorian Vivids: A Floral Collection from Edward Step's Masterworks" Discover the allure of "Victorian Vivids," a meticulously assembled trio of antique botanical prints from Edward Step's "Favourite Flowers of Garden and Greenhouse." These prints, dating back to 1896, represent the zenith of Victorian botanical artistry and stand as a testament to the era's deep fascination with the natural world. Within this collection lies the Sweet William (Dianthus barbatus), a classic garden favorite with clusters of velvety petals ranging from soft pinks to rich crimsons; the Gypsophila elegans, more commonly known as baby's-breath, with its delicate white blooms that dance lightly above slender stems; and the iconic Pansy (Viola tricolor var. maxima), whose vibrant faces are painted with nature's own masterful brush in a myriad of colors and patterns. Rendered through the chromolithographic process, a revolutionary art form of the time, these prints capture the essence of each species with astonishing clarity and color. This method, involving multiple print runs for each color, allowed for an almost photographic realism, a quality much sought after in an age where such detail was the pinnacle of printmaking. "Victorian Vivids" is an invitation to delve into a world where floral beauty is suspended in time, offering an opportunity to own a fragment of horticultural history. These prints will appeal to connoisseurs of art and history alike, providing an enduring charm and a touch of Victorian elegance to any collection or décor.
