Antique Hand-Colored Fern Prints - Aspidium Species - 19th Century Botanical Art
Located in Langweer, NL
Antique Hand-Colored Fern Prints - Aspidium Species - 19th Century Botanical Art
This rare set of three hand-colored fern prints features detailed illustrations of various species of **Aspidium**. These botanical prints are part of the renowned 19th-century collection, *Ferns: British and Exotic*, showcasing the meticulous botanical artistry of the Victorian period.
The ferns illustrated in this set include:
- **Aspidium augustescens** (Majestic Shield Fern): This species is known for its symmetrical fronds and graceful appearance. The print showcases the fine detailing of the fern’s structure, capturing the natural elegance of its leaves.
- **Aspidium acuminatum** (Pointed Shield Fern): This species is noted for its sharply pointed fronds and dense arrangement of sori (spore clusters). The print emphasizes the intricate texture of the fronds and the distinct shape of the reproductive structures.
- **Aspidium proliferum** (Proliferous Shield Fern): This fern is characterized by its broad fronds and ability to produce multiple offshoots. The illustration captures the density and lush growth habit of the species, with precise attention to the arrangement of the spore clusters.
These prints come from E.J. Lowe’s famous botanical work, *Ferns: British and Exotic*, which was published between 1856 and 1860. Edward Joseph Lowe was a distinguished Victorian botanist known for his extensive research and beautifully illustrated publications on ferns. His work remains highly regarded for its scientific accuracy and aesthetic quality.
The prints were produced using the chromolithography technique, a popular 19th-century printing method that allowed for vibrant, multi-layered color reproduction. This process adds depth and dimension to the prints, creating lifelike images that make these ferns appear almost tangible.
Each print measures approximately 12 x 8 inches, making them perfect for framing. Whether you are a botanical art collector, a nature lover, or someone who appreciates vintage prints, this set offers both historical significance and decorative appeal.
Condition Report: Overall good condition with light age-related toning around the edges. The colors remain vibrant, and the images are clear and sharp.

Towering Mammoth Tree in California: "Beauty of the Forest" Lithograph of 1856
Located in Langweer, NL
Title: Towering Mammoth Tree: "Beauty of the Forest" Lithograph
Description: This stunning lithograph, titled "Mammoth Tree: Beauty of the Forest," captures the majesty of one of California's iconic giant sequoias, a true testament to nature's grandeur. This one is likely located in Oakland, near San Francisco in Cafifornia. The composition emphasizes the sheer scale of the tree, rising high above the surrounding forest canopy, with minute human figures at its base to provide a sense of proportion. The scene evokes both awe and tranquility, offering a glimpse into the pristine wilderness that once dominated the American landscape.
Created through the detailed process of lithography, this piece was produced by T. Sinclair's renowned lithographic studio in Philadelphia. The precision and delicate shading of the print reflect the artist's dedication to realism, while the warm, earthy tones enhance its timeless appeal. Lithography, celebrated for its ability to capture intricate details, was a revolutionary art form in the 19th century, making this print both a historical and artistic treasure.
The Mammoth Trees, California's iconic giant sequoias, are nowadays primarily found in the Sierra Nevada mountain range. The most famous groves include:
Giant Forest, located in Sequoia National Park, home to the General Sherman Tree, the largest tree in the world by volume.
Mariposa Grove, located in Yosemite National Park, home to the Grizzly Giant and other famous sequoias.
Calaveras Big Trees State Park, located in northern California, one of the first groves to be widely publicized.

Hand-Coloured Lithograph of Armoured Knight and Horse in Tournament Dress, 1842
Located in Langweer, NL
Title: Hand-Coloured Lithograph of Armoured Knight and Horse in Tournament Dress
Description: This exquisite hand-coloured lithograph presents a fully armoured knight mounted on a similarly armoured horse, highlighting the grandeur of medieval tournament culture. Drawn from *Der Rittersaal: Eine Geschichte des Ritterthums* (1842) by Friedrich Martin von Reibisch and Dr. Franz Kottenkamp, the plate exemplifies the craftsmanship of tournament armor and equestrian regalia.
The knight is clad in articulated plate armor, intricately engraved and polished to perfection, reflecting the martial prowess and status of a noble warrior. He holds a ceremonial poleaxe, often seen in jousts or tournaments as both a practical weapon and a symbol of chivalry. His plumed helmet, adorned with vibrant red and yellow feathers, adds an element of spectacle befitting a medieval tournament.
The horse is draped in a richly patterned caparison, a cloth covering adorned with intricate geometric designs, likely symbolizing the knight's heraldic identity. The ornate horse armor...
