About the Item

1897 Victorian Botanical Print – India-Rubber Plant (Ficus Elastica) – A Symbol of Exploration and Exotic Elegance This stunning 1897 botanical illustration showcases the India-Rubber Plant (Ficus elastica), an iconic species native to the lush rainforests of Southeast Asia, particularly India, Nepal, Myanmar, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Revered during the Victorian era as both a botanical marvel and a symbol of tropical exploration, this plant played a significant role in history as an early source of natural latex used to produce rubber. The meticulously detailed illustration highlights the plant’s large, glossy green leaves, known for their ability to absorb toxins and improve indoor air quality. During the 19th century, *Ficus elastica* became a favored ornamental plant in European parlors and greenhouses, admired for its resilience and exotic beauty. Today, it remains a timeless indoor plant, symbolizing prosperity and enduring growth. This original print from Favourite Flowers of Garden and Greenhouse captures the elegance and scientific curiosity of the Victorian age. In excellent condition, the artwork features vivid colors and fine details against a clean, creamy background. A perfect addition for collectors of botanical prints, lovers of historical plant exploration, or those seeking to bring the beauty of the tropics into their home décor. The detailed illustration showcases both the broad mature leaves and emerging growth, making this a fascinating and decorative study of the species. Preserved in excellent condition, the print maintains vivid colors, sharp lines, and a clean background. Ideal for collectors of antique botanical prints, interior decorators, or plant enthusiasts, this striking artwork brings a touch of Victorian botanical charm to any space.
