Woodland Grace: Erythronium Americanum, 1879
About the Item
This original antique artwork reflects the meticulous work of Thomas Meehan, and the image was published by L.Prang and Company in Boston, known for their exquisite chromolithographic work in the 19th century. The book from which this plate come, "The Native Flowers and Ferns of the United States in Their Botanical, Horticultural, and Popular Aspects," serves as a testament to the rich botanical heritage of the United States and the period's appreciation for natural sciences.
Title: "Woodland Grace: Erythronium Americanum"
Description:
This print portrays the Erythronium Americanum, commonly known as the trout lily or dogtooth violet. This wildflower is native to North America and can often be found in forested areas, carpeting the ground in early spring. The illustration captures the plant's elegant drooping flowers (2, 3), which display a blend of yellow hues with recurved petals that dance above mottled, lanceolate leaves, a distinctive feature that resembles the patterns on trout – hence the common name. A single bulb-like corm (1) is illustrated, showing the underground storage organ that allows the plant to survive winter and emerge each spring. A developing seed pod (4) indicates the plant's life cycle progression, demonstrating its method of propagation. The attention to detail in the veining of the leaves and the intricate structure of the flowers highlights the beauty of this ephemeral species, which often blankets the woodland floor in a display of fleeting springtime beauty.
