About the Item

Wild Blue Phlox (Phlox divaricata), hand-coloured botanical print, 1874 This elegant hand-coloured lithograph from 1874 features Phlox divaricata, commonly known as Wild Blue Phlox or Woodland Phlox. It was published by George Bell & Sons in London as part of the second series of Alpine Plants, a renowned Victorian botanical work combining scientific interest with artistic beauty. Phlox divaricata is a native North American species often found in woodlands and shaded hillsides. It is admired for its clusters of soft, lavender-blue flowers and lance-shaped green leaves. This species typically blooms in early spring, forming delicate drifts of colour in naturalized settings. The lithograph captures the airy nature and gentle colour palette of the plant, focusing on the simple elegance of its floral structure. The illustration is exceptionally well-balanced, showing both flower and foliage in a minimal composition that draws the viewer’s attention to the subtle details of the plant’s form. Lithographed and then individually coloured by hand, this piece demonstrates the precision and care typical of high-quality 19th-century botanical art. The paper is thick and creamy with light natural toning along the edges, consistent with its age. The colours remain vivid, especially the soft blue-lavender tones of the petals, which contrast gently with the bright greens of the leaves. The overall simplicity of the plate makes it ideal for a refined, understated display. This print is perfect for botanical art collectors, garden lovers, or anyone seeking a calming, natural accent for their home or workspace. Its timeless style suits a variety of interiors, from classic to contemporary, especially in spaces that embrace botanical or cottage themes. Condition summary and framing tips: Excellent condition with crisp colours and minimal age marks. Best framed with a soft lavender or pale ivory mat and a natural wood or brushed silver frame to echo the plant’s cool tones and clean composition.
